Popular cloud-based RSS reader on death row. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2013/03/14/google-reader-close/1
Sigh, I use it so I can see the latest updates on sites without having to visit each site, I can't be the only one as Google try to make out. Must be cutting it due to no profit on it, more money to be made on Google+. :/
I use it religiously to skim hundreds of news stories per day, and visit the really important stuff. In fact I got this BT news item through it - ironic!
I check it every 30 minutes. If not every 5mins. DON'T DO THIS TO US , GOOGLE, DONT DO THIS!! I BEG YOU!
What a pain in the arse I've had a quick look at feedly, but they don't seem to have the feature I use, which is simply to browse all my feeds, in one list, from oldest to newest. The Old Reader seems to do that, but they're overloaded so I can't import my subscriptions right now. I can't see google backing down on this, but I hope they do.
This is so annoying.. so the two Google products I use most (iGoogle and the Reader) are both being killed off.. Seem like very odd decisions. Going to have to get used to internet life without Google!
Downgrading the sharing was one thing... but killing it off. What the hell?! I guess I'll find an alternate site to keep open all day and use religiously.... thanks Google!
I am so not okay with this. If they really go through with this instead of turning around after the internet outcry, I'm changing my email provider. **** Google.
Ah, that option isn't there in the Firefox version, but I eventually worked out that you can order the Latest option to show in that way.
Well, this sucks. Reader represents most of the time I spend on google sites. which is saying something considering I have 2 gmail accounts I use regularly.
I've been using Reader to keep up with Bittech and others for years now. I love G+ more than most, but unless they integrate rss somehow, I still need Reader.
