I won’t put too many eggs in Google’s basket. Meanwhile I’m putting my flower on the Google Reader grave.Next post Previous post The iPhone and Google Reader hegemonyĪ lot has been written in the past 24 hours about Google’s announcement that it’s shutting down Reader in a few months. The same goes for other new Google services. Evernote serves me fine and I’ll stay with it over Keep, even if Google makes it slightly better than Evernote. If there’s already a useful tool in a given space that works as well as a new Google service or even if it’s close, I’m less likely to switch. Should buyers trust that Google will keep developing Chrome OS or continue to support their watch? Already people think they might merge Chrome OS with Android, although Google said they wouldn’t. We’re told Google might release a smart watch that will compete with the rumored Apple watch and the Pebble watch we reviewed.

An empty grave ready for Google Glass.įew of the dead Google services got anything close to the same amount of press coverage the closure of Google Reader’s gotten so far. Look below at the last item in the graveyard. The Graveyard includes services like iGoogle, Google Labs, Google Wave, Google Video, Google Buzz and more. The Slate Google Graveyard is a collection of defunct Google services It shows graphically all the services Google killed and lets mourners put a flower on the grave of these services. This isn’t the first time Google’s killed off a popular service. Hopefully Reeder will step up and offer a similar service to Google Reader as they promised on Twitter.ĭon’t worry, Reeder won’t die with Google Reader. I don’t want to change my routine so I’m unhappy about Google’s decision.

Every morning I read my Bible, my email and then my collection of RSS feeds via Reeder on my mac and the Google Reader app on my iPad and iPhone. Millions of people use Google Reader to read millions of different sources that publish RSS feeds. Many members of the tech press howled because Google Reader is essential for many writers to efficiently gather news from a wide variety of sources efficiently. The Internet reverberated with a loud gasp when Google announced it is pulling the plug on Google Reader, a popular RSS aggregator.
