It is wild to me how many people view this event as the divider of two eras of Google. And the same is true for me. Before this, I loved Google products - I was a fan of everything they did, I had an Android phone, things were working great. After they shuttered Reader, I never trusted anything they built the same way again. It's wild to think that something that was not really used for me for work or education had such an impact on my perception of a company. But I'm not exaggerating when I say this had a bigger impact on me than Microsoft's three red lights issue on my XBox 360 or their PlaysForSure debacle.
