Google Reader was a nearly perfect 'social network' for me. It offered an RSS feed with the ability to share news and articles with friends and a comments system to discuss the topics with a small group of people. Google killed it off for what? Google+, presumably. No one in my friend group moved on to Google+, though.
- neonate 7y agoThere are so many comments like this about Google Reader that it's hard to understand why someone hasn't built a replacement. Even just a feature-for-feature clone. Hasn't anyone tried? If they have, why didn't it work?
- J5892 7y agoFeedly is still pretty much a feature-for-feature clone of reader. After the end of Reader was announced, Feedly allowed you to sign in with Google and automatically import everything in Reader. The transition was basically seamless, and I haven't missed Reader since.
