Yeah I do think that was seriously under calculated. It seems like reader comes up on nearly every article about google screwing up something like this. What I never understood though, why did they cancel it in the first place. I always figured that the crawler likely used RSS for discovery. I mean why wouldn't it? I constantly find that RSS has articles before I see them on the website. So how much extra data were they really storing for supporting Reader? I mean they had to support the UI but it just seemed like an odd removal.
