Re: Sad news regarding google reader

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you haven't heard, Google is shutting down Google Reader on July 1.
Maybe it'll keep on chugging and just not be supported, but I don't
think this is the case. I doubt Google has done much to support Google
Reader in the last few years anyway. I think this is more of a retasking
of the compute services used to serve up Google Reader. I haven't heard
of it being integrated into any other services. The rumor is that RSS is
considered irrelevant now and Google is trying to drive more traffic
into social networking offerings like Google Plus. I think our hope is
that someone else will provide a similar service with the same open
API's Google Reader used.
