RIP: Google Reader Meets Its Inevitable End (opens in new tab)

Beta = Shut down any day.

I am sorry, but Google+ sharing is not the same reading long-form content from a set of selected sources. Google Reader helps me choose to follow certain good bloggers who posts good content within their website. I don't expect all of them to move to a walled garden called Google+. Even if they do, what is the guarantee that they will not pull the plug on this social network as well, given their past record?

Nobody thought it that way... There are a lot of apps relying on google reader API, and now they have to change. I'm using it since day one.

I still use it :)

I think it's a nice move by Google. They should ax all products that they are not actively developing like Voice.
