These are not well chosen examples of feigned openness by Google or maybe I don't understand this comment. I used and loved Google Reader but you can't accuse Google of destroying an "ecosystem" by closing down a product. If it was really that healthy, other sites would have outrageously flourished by a market leader packing up like that. The Geolocation API that powers so many mapping/fitness sites, local store locators, and God knows what else? How is that not open?
