- TillE 10y agoActually, why not? It's not like the employees get fired. You generally know when you're working on a crappy product.
- atsaloli 10y agoGoogle Reader was a fantastically useful product for me. Not "crappy" at all.
- toyg 10y agoThat's the point parent is making: the Reader team probably wouldn't have opted for shutting down, and they would have been right.
- phasmantistes 10y agoThe reader team didn't exist (and hadn't for years) at the time the decision was made to shut it down.
