Google Reader
I’m pretty much done with Google Reader without the share functionality. I don’t want to use Google Buzz.
The word Buzz in and of itself irks me, like it’s a bee in my ear distracting me from what I should be focusing on while in my inbox.
That being said, and correct me if I’m wrong, but Google Reader wasn’t making Google any money. RSS adoption is abysmal. Sometimes we get so absorbed into our tech-heavy circles that we think everyone uses this stuff. The mainstream doesn’t use RSS, and there’s no reason for Google to cater to the minority of ad-averse, tech-heavy early adopters.
We aren’t making them billions.
