Google Reader, one of the best-known feeds through which users can pull
together their favorite Web content in one place, will be shutting down, the
company announced.
In an age of Facebook posts and retweets, Google Senior Vice President Urs
Holzle said in a post on the official Google blog that Reader was losing
popularity.
"While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined,
" Holzle wrote.
Reader will be shut down on July 1. Users wanting to port their content to
another RSS (rich site summary) feed can use Google Takeout to move it over
the next four months.
The move is part of a massive "spring cleaning" that Google began in 2011
and which has nuked about 70 of its wide array of products. The point is
focus in a time when mobile technology is dramatically and quickly changing
the computing world, said Holzle.
"It's been a long time since we have had this rate of change -- it probably
hasn't happened since the birth of personal computing 40 years ago," he
wrote. "To make the most of these opportunities, we need to focus --
otherwise we spread ourselves too thin and lack impact.
Among the 40 shutdowns announced Wednesday also were the Google Voice app
for BlackBerry, the desktop version of photo app Snapseed, Google Cloud
Connect and Google Building Maker, which lets users create models of
buildings on Google Earth and Google Maps.
Released in 2005, Google Reader was begun four years earlier as a project
called JavaCollect by independent software engineer Chris Wetherell. After
joining Google, he worked with a team to perfect and enhance it.
"We know Reader has a devoted following who will be very sad to see it go,"
said software engineer Alan Green on the Google Reader blog. "We're sad too."
Reader, and RSS feeds in general, remain popular with active, Web-savvy
users who rely upon them to pull together the best of the Internet in one
easy-to-read stream. But they never caught on among more casual users
content to visit their favorite sites or rely on friends on social media to
share interesting posts.
The feeds are also difficult to make money from, and Google never tried to
place ads on Reader or charge for its use.
Indeed. Within hours of the announcement, several online petitions to save
the service had gotten thousands of signatures. On petition site Change.org,
more than 46,000 people had signed the petition "Google: Keep Google Reader
Running."
"Our confidence in Google's other products -- Gmail, YouTube, and yes, even
Plus -- requires that we trust you in respecting how and why we use your
other products," wrote Dan Lewis, of New York City, who created the petition
. "This isn't just about our data in Reader. This is about us using your
product because we love it, because it makes our lives better, and because
we trust you not to nuke it."
There are several alternatives for Reader users, some of which have sprung
up recently. Feedly and Pulse offer Web-based RSS feeds that also have
mobile apps for Apple's iOS and Android.
Zite (which is owned by CNN) lets users create a feed based on their
interests then refine the feed by voting content up or down. It uses Google
Reader info to help select content. Rival Flipboard allows users to directly
import their Google Reader content, a point they expressly made in a post
Thursday. | f*****8
