Has anyone got any links to "influential" tech bloggers claiming RSS is dead? I know there has been a lot of fuss about it with google touting "dwindling users", yet I still haven't seen any such claims laid out in this article. Did I miss the boat / was I simply oblivious to such nonsense?
I also question google and their trite "dwindling numbers" excuse. They've downplayed reader ever since the bootstrap-esque debut of their "stupid bar" its been in the dropdown, even though it is the only thing I ever used/use the "stupid bar" for. This may be my tinfoil hat speaking but something tells me this spring clean has more to do with promoting google+ / fostering real page views (ad views) than anything else.

Agreed on the Google+ analysis though :)
