People. People are up in arms.
Anyway, yeah, that's insane. Even Google, who constantly shuts stuff down, usually does so with way more heads up. For comparison, Google Reader, a completely free service, shut down with 3.5 months advance notice. Google Wave got almost 6 months notice.
- cygned 9y ago> Google Reader It still hurts.
- Hallucinaut 9y agoIt was the day RSS died for me
- scrollaway 9y agohttps://bazqux.com/ https://bazqux.com/ - Highly recommended. I'm a lifetime subscriber.
- pronik 9y agoLet it live again with InoReader....
- dbrgn 9y agoI'm glad it happened, now I'm happier with Feedly than I was back then with Google Reader.
- detaro 9y agoI really don't get why this statement is so common. More or less every other hosted reader immediately offered a migration path, so getting out of Reader and up and running somewhere else was really easy.
- 112233 9y agoSince I missed on missing it, was there any particular feature that's not in other rss readers? I have only user rss via gwene over nntp, if that went away, i'd miss it bunches.
- cygned 9y agoIt’s not about features. Nowadays, I’d go with a self-hosted Open Source application from the start. In fact, that’s what I am looking for at this very moment.
- cube2222 9y agoI do think that for commercial services like services in the Google cloud platform they give a year+.
- yegle 9y agoAll Google Cloud GA features will have at least 1 year of deprecation period. 7.2 Deprecation Policy. Google will announce if it intends to discontinue or make backwards incompatible changes to the Services specified at the URL in the next sentence. Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate those Services versions and features identified at https://cloud.google.com/terms/deprecation https://cloud.google.com/terms/deprecation without these changes for at least one year after that announcement, unless (as Google determines in its reasonable good faith judgment): (i) required by law or third party relationship (including if there is a change in applicable law or relationship), or (ii) doing so could create a security risk or substantial economic or material technical burden. The above policy is the "Deprecation Policy." Disclaimer I work for Google in Cloud.
- manigandham 9y agoGoogle does make a mess with consumer apps but it’s entirely different when it comes to Google Cloud or any of their enterprise products.
