100% commercial play.
We are being funneled into google+.

On a separate topic, has anyone noticed Google Comparison?  It's the box of photos under the sponsored search results.  Takes up the balance of space on the page "above the fold".  New visual product to compare goods...also sponsored.  

Thoughts?

Probably because it wasn't directly making them money (or at least not as much as they hoped to).

With that said, I actually made a free news reader 3 years ago and made it public for a few months where it racked up 100,000 hits before I took it down for several reasons (namely I no longer had the time to maintain it and its huge database of articles).  I finally got the time to fire it back up recently and continue its development.

If any of you avid readers of the news want to be posted on an eventual beta launch, let me know :)

Also, depending on overall interest levels, would it be "spam" to make an announcement to this mailing list later regarding the launch of my news reader?

I don't understand why they shut it down, if it is about money they can charge a fee... it seems that g+'s failure is the reason why.
I will not migrate to G+

Google reader is dead......but doesn’t mean RSS is

Don’t be evil? If that’s the unofficial Google motto, then the company has failed to deliver today. Among the products Google just announced it plans to sunset (read: kill off), beloved feed-reading service Google Reader is now on the chopping block.



Be sure to check out the free Netvibes rss reader, in my view the best RSS reader out there.

The reason for my preference is the "laid out" view where I can have tabs around subjects and then display the same rss streams are in the same dashboard location each time.

I hate the "streaming post" view that most rss readers adopted.

 

 

(lol the irony Google is claiming supposedly “declining usage” as the reason for shutting down google reader and yet as you can see here on Reddit every popular rss reader is being DOS by people today looking to test out alternatives J - http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1a8zgj/what_are_some_good_web_rss_readers_to_replace/ )
