I am especially impressed with how they keep supporting Google Reader for all these years despite the declining user base, because they care so much about the existing users.
- donbox 5mo agoThe internet changed for me the day the Reader died. Actually, in hindsight, for me personally, internet died when the Reader died.
- verisimi 5mo agoYep. My aspirations about how the internet was going to enable a brighter, better future for people, were instantly transformed, and instead we saw the power of tech corporations acting in their own interests. How naive I was.
- doubled112 5mo agoGoogle shutting down Reader did encourage me to learn to host my own services though, which I am pretty thankful for.
- serf 5mo agobe proud of your own imitative, not thankful for the boot to the ass. Google did nothing to help you , but your response to the dire situation is to be commended.
- doubled112 5mo agoI believe it goes both ways. Sometimes the boot in the ass is what triggers initiative. Most people won't do something for no reason.
- kybernetikos 5mo agoThere are decent alternatives. Personally I use newsblur, and I like having a feed that contains only sources I've chosen.
