What is really missed is the larger picture.
People who used/use Reader digest information. A lot of information and quickly (at least if you are using it correctly).
They are often the hubs in social/meme networks. I find cool stories all the time and propagate those stories out. It is hard to value that, if there is value there at all.
When the demise of Reader had been announced, bluntly feedly sucked. It looked like Pintrest (is that bad?) It was missing the key feature in a reader... the reading part. Pictures are nice and layout is ok, but seriously I just want to read really quick.
Feedly has gotten better or maybe I just have figured out the correct way to use it? Hard to say.
What I have really learned from google closing reader is that you cannot trust someone you are not paying with your data. And maybe you cannot even trust someone you are paying... how depressing.
- fpgeek 13y agoNo maybe about it. You can't trust someone you're paying either. See: - Sparrow and all the other companies who were acquired and saw products killed - the countless other companies that just went out of business - the problems you run into when hiring people to develop custom software - and so on There is no substitute for individually (and regularly) assessing the risks and benefits associated with all the software and services you use. And even then, you will make mistakes.
