The sad part isn't that google reader is going away. The sad part is this offering ran other RSS agrigators out of business and now they pull this rug out from under us. We need to go back to self contained RSS readers. the bad part is so many reader clients such as what run on mobile devices use Reader exclusively and do not store RSS feeds locally. What would be much sadder is to have RSS go away entirely and we would be forced to use web interfaces for all our news sources. I love RSS agrigation whether it is done locally on a computer or mobile device or if it is cloud based. The main thing Reader was good for was you could sync your RSS feeds between different devices. We should all realize that we as users of Google's free services are not their customers! the only customers Google has is its advertisers. They couldn't make any money with Reader so throw it away along with any other free services they offer.
