How Plus Will Become The Next Google Reader
- sixQuarks 13y agoIf that's the case, then they're idiots for getting rid of Reader without helping their users move to Plus.
- anorark 13y agoThere's no way google plus is fit for consuming hundreds of articles every day. How do I keep track of what I've already read?
- hkmurakami 13y agoThat's a great point. All the existing SNS services are designed for chronological, "optional" consumption of posts. This is very different from the way we interacted with posts in reader. They could give us a mode to let us look at posts in reader fashion though.
- ejain 13y agoThe inability to filter out items that I have already seen is precisely what makes Facebook, Twitter, Google+ et al so inefficient for me.
- arocks 13y agoGoogle Reader was a busy user's tool for reading through several blogs quickly. Asking Google Plus users to visit the blog makes it as useful as, say Twitter without any of the productivity benefits. It is a typical social platform with all the distractions for people who would like to be distracted. A different set of users, in my opinion.
- fakeer 13y agoI really do not see how one can infer this, seeing there was no move, no migration! So, Google is supposed to add everything to Plus without asking users or later ask users "hey guys, just add whatever was there in your Reader account to your G+ and we are sure you had backups or just work your memory - it will be fun". Or they are going to subscribe users to all tom-dick-harry G+ profiles and tell users "Read on, this is your new Reader". Well, in either case it's not going to be the Next GR. The one who wrote this post has either absolutely no idea what GR was and what it meant or is just playing a Scoble.

- nohorse 13y agoHow an open information sharing standard for syndication will be replaced by a superfluous social media sharing site. How about plus creates real RSS links to public plusers so I can follow them using an a RSS reader? Can monetize that, so it will never happen
- mieses 13y agoLego Duplo will become the Next Lego Technic. Quantity will become the Next Quality. The Public will become the Next Elite. Let Google Reader users tremble at the Google+ revolution. Working Men of All Countries Unite!
