You may not actually remember it, but this week in the middle of March it is An important event for users of the Google ecosystem and its services ConnectedAnd users and fans who They still miss Google Reader after that “Second Spring Cleaning” It has Giant Mountain View He betrayed us trying to bury the RSSwhich leaves us without one of the best news apps in history.
It’s been 10 years since this very week, and the only thing that’s certain here is that Many of us have not yet recovered from closing Google Readera service that is certainly outdated technologically for our days but equally beloved, which we all miss and will appreciate in return, much more so now that Google itself is trying to sell us feed RSS from Chrome as a return.
Nobody swallowed itObviously, people continued to use it feedly And other options that took up the space left by Google Reader above to avoid frustration with Google will still be GoogleAnd now we know how good Mountain View is at giving up services even when they work.
10 years without Google Reader and we still aren’t done with it
Google said at the time, in 2013, that it launched reader to Make it easy for people to discover and control updates and news of their favorite websites, acknowledging their own Millions of loyal followers But reporting the shutdown of the service Because its use has diminished over the years..
It was actually Google’s idea burial rss In favor of another type of news consumption, certainly more profitable, but what he did was It leaves us with a huge void that users fill with alternatives like feedlyis still very much alive today No one has yet found better ways to follow current affairs from RSS.
There was no in reader no need to Strange algorithms tell us what we care aboutand no high learning curve No complications to add our information sourcesSo yeah, we’d all like Google Reader to return as we knew it, without artificial intelligence or various tools, it bears repeating.
The famous Google Reader interface, now lost in the mists of time.
And at this point, when 10 years have passed since the betrayal of Googleno feeds Facebook or Twitter nor explore o The return of Google News has completely closed that wound after the most widely used RSS system on the planet has since gone down None of these tools are so simple, fast, light and convenient to use in this day.
