The arrogance is quite astounding. The text of the error message:
"Google Reader is no longer available. To continue receiving Google Alerts, change to email delivery."
Apparently the only reason for Google to support RSS was that they had their own RSS aggregator.
Classy move.
- hosay123 13y agoIf you think that's funny, check out http://googledevelopers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/pubsubhubbub-feeds-and-feed-api.html http://googledevelopers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/pubsubhubbub-... : we encourage providers of feed systems and related tools to connect their automated systems for feed acquisition to our PuSH hub (or other hubs in the PuSH ecosystem). Google directly hosts many feed producers (e.g. Blogger is one of the largest feed sources on the web) and is a feed consumer too (e.g. many webmasters use feeds to tell our Search system about changes on their sites). Our PuSH hub offers easy access to hundreds of millions of Google-hosted feeds, as well as hundreds of millions of other feeds available via the PuSH ecosystem and through active polling. You'd think they could have picked a better subject to get people to trust them over, or a better day to post about it
