Digg has just published the results of part 2 of their user survey into what makes a good RSS reader. It’s all part of their quest to build a Google Reader replacement, which they announced on the same day Google announced they would be killing their product in July. Digg Reader will be a paid service announced by Digg.

40% of the survey is respondent that they would pay for a Google Reader replacement. Free products don’t have a great track record, tend to disappear and leaving users in a lurch but Digg is pretty much set on charging for their RSS reader so that people can rely on and trust on product. Although Google Reader was a free product, Digg probably needs to go ahead and get their reader on the market. Digg is going to release beta in June.

Although they don’t come right out and say it, Digg says that they were “pleased” to see that 40% of their survey respondents said that they would pay for a Google Reader replacement.
