Bad news for users Google ReaderYesterday Google officially announced close this service starting with July 1 2013. The announcement was made both Google blog, where Reader closing has been integrated into "spring cleaning"And the official blog Google Reader, We explain briefly why for this decision.
There are two simple Reasons for this: usage of Google Reader has Declined, and as a company we're pouring all of our energy into fewer products. We think That kind of focus Will make for a better user experience.
Although there are still enough Google Reader usersIt seems that this decline was accelerated by popularity increasingly higher social networks, Such as Facebook or TwitterThey serve as a new and replacement for RSS (Rich Site Summary). While some Internet users prefer to rely on services RSSAs Google Reader to gather the informations that interest on Internet, The number of those who rely strictly on sharing on your social networks to find articles and / or interesting sites.
How 3 still months until Google Reader will be closed, Its users have enough time to either find a replacement RSS (e.g Feedly, FeedDemon or Press) Or to sign one of petitions occurring in any Google announcement a few hours (petition Google: Keep running Google Reader raised in a few hours 80.000 over signatures) And hope that they will be heard. If you choose the first option, you can use Google Takeout to make transfer content from Google Reader RSS chosen by the new service.
