I just wanted to put out there that this has nothing to do with Superfeedr...

Wasn't Google killing Reader because they had to focus on less products? How many new products this week alone have they introduced? 3, 4, 5?

Well, a quick lookup would give you that: http://techcrunch.com/2009/05/05/rest-in-peace-rss/ or that http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/13/google-readers-death-is-pro... or many many many other... Agreed on the Google+ analysis though :)

Of course... print it, go outside and ask people what that ease. Ebven if you live in SF, I bet than the vast majority will tell you it's nice but have no idea what that is!

The point is to not make you click the button the SubToMe homepage of course, but on blog posts that you liked, on your friends's home page... etc. The words are then up to them. As for users not recognizing any of the services, this is wha

What's the "RSS icon"? I have no idea.

What's a "Feed icon" ? Ask someone around you who is not a geek to show you the "feed icon".

Lucian, what's wrong here is how Google has a bug that breaks localstorage and which forced us to show that warning if you have that option setup :/ We would love to not show that warning, but since there is a bug in localtsorage which can

Browsers have commercial interest =) There is room for both.
