Google Reader to shut down July 1st
Hello
everyone, This will be
the first post on Tech Mind’s blog and I wanted to dedicate this post to “Google
Reader”. I think you already know Google Reader, one of the world’s most
popular RSS reader, is about to shut down on July 1, 2013. Google announced
this news on Wednesday. (13th March 2013)I also found
out, In addition to killing Google Reader, Google about to ending support for
the Google voice app for BlackBerry Smartphones. Number of users will be
affected by the end of Google voice app for BlackBerry and the various API
services. However the biggest blow for many will be the disappearance of 7
years old Google Reader.Google says
it is killing it off because “usage of Google
Reader has declined, and as a company we’re pouring all of our energy into fewer products." As one
of the most popular RSS aggregation around, the death of Google Reader could
spell doom for the RSS protocol itself, which has seen waning popularity since
the rise of social sharing services. Additionally, there is a rather healthy
ecosystem of third party apps for mobile devices that use Google Reader to
synchronize news articles. These apps will have to find another method of
importing articles from the web or just fade off into the sunset when Reader
meets its ultimate demise. Either way, we'll be pouring some out for
Google Reader come July 1st, and be looking for new way to keep up with our
favorite sites on the web in the meantime. ( Details from Internet
