> Reader's death was a huge blow to the RSS world. As a non Reader user, I can confidently say this statement is false. Nothing in my RSS feeds I was subscribed to changed for years after it shut down. Those relying on RSS and not using Google Reader were not at all impacted by Reader's shut down. Facebook, Twitter, etc is what caused a lot of major sites to drop the investment on RSS. The number of RSS users was always small, but the number of subscribers using these other services grew exponentially.
