Whats incredible to me is that google co-opted RSS in chrome and practically forced us to use their Reader product via Chrome's defaults. So we all gave up on our stand-alone readers and readers built into other browsers. And now they pull this crap?
I just wish they'd leave well enough alone. I greatly prefer Firefox's RSS integration. Heck, RSS is more or less dying and I blame google and Chrome for this. Shifting the reader from the browser to a webapp isn't helping anyone and just means more backend infrastructure to maintain. Now they don't want to maintain it. Typical cloud fail.
Are they going to toss in a built-in RSS reader into Chrome now? Is the "cloudify everything" fad finally over? Simcity working yet?
- overshard 14y agoYour comment generally frustrated me as another "cloud basher" of which we've heard a million times before but then I saw your last sentence, burst out laughing and had to give you some props for it. The cloud is completely pointless and hindering in some situations. Thank you for reminding me of that. -- A Serial Cloud App User
