Google Reader is shutting down.
Hey Google, We Still Love Reader
I'm in shock.
This blog is about barefoot running and healthy, paleo-style diets. These two topics have utterly changed my and my family's life in the past five years.

Clicking through from Google Reader...
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how I found Born to Run, but I've had Google Reader open in one form or another for a very long time. This shutdown is going to profoundly affect how I learn about the day-to-day world. Having met you through a different Google product, I figured we had a pretty similar set of feeds.
However, the web is very different than it was a few years ago. Fewer people seem to be contributing much outside of Twitter and Facebook, and what's there is rarely as deep or insightful as my golden-tinged memories of an earlier web. in recent years Reader just hasn't seemed as rich as it once did.
But still, I'm looking for replacements...
I look at Twitter (ADD, anyone?) and Facebook (cat pictures) when I'm done with Reader.
ReplyDeleteYou can't convey useful information through twitter, and Facebook is a vanity site.
Sigh.
I'm hoping the functionality will get rolled into Google + in a useful way. When they closed Wave the best parts of the functionality went into Google docs.
ReplyDelete"Google +" and "useful" aren't things that go together in my mind...
