Reasons Why We Wont Miss Google Reader

1. 15 reasons why we wont miss
Google Reader

2. Yep its true. Google Reader faces
its Apocalypse in a few months.

3. Google Reader, the eight-year-old RSS reader
that became an industry standard, has been
given a funeral date:
July 1, 2013.
RIP Google Reader.
You were a great sport..

4. Though the lack of
Google Reader will
be a terrible loss…

5. ..there are few
reasons that lead
us to think that we
wont miss Google
Reader as much…

6. 1. Consistently dropping “certain feeds” and
then posting ten of them at once weeks later.
It gets pretty annoying with time.

7. 2. Even after unsubscribing from several
blogs[multiple times] Google kept signing
back up for them!

8. 3.Other alternatives like Feedly are far
better, offer more options and is much user
friendly than our poor old Reader

9. 4. Everyone hated the new design
Google Reader under went in 2011

10. 5. Google Reader has not had any new features in
years
Although all these features are cool, they came way back
in 2008.

11. 6. Subscriptions!
Managing them is a real pain.
There is no easy way to change their order through
setting(you need to be in a reader view to drag and drop
them)

12. 7. All the social features are removed and replaced
by a Google +1 button.
TRASH
Clicking the +1 button only adds the page to your Google
Profile &you need to click the "share on Google+" box to share
the page with your friends.

13. 8. Feed column cannot be expanded
It is a concern for users with
smaller screens. The feed
column takes up a whole lot of
space

14. 9. Lacks imagination.
Looks a lot like Gmail

15. 10. Folders and tags cannot public.
The blogroll widget and the associated public page don’t
updated.

16. 11. All the items +1'd from Google Reader are treated like
any other pages.
There's no way to read the posts shared by your friends
in Google Reader

17. 12. Doesn't offer keyboard shortcuts for
sharing posts: Shift+s, Shift+d.

18. 13. Home page! It’s completely up to Google
Reader what is shown on reader’s Home page.
You may tweak the Homepage but cannot arrange the Blogs
according to your hierarchy.

19. 14. Its Slow
Scrolling works fine. But The Reader becomes
awfully slow after performing few tasks.

20. 15. Too much white space

21. There are several replacements for
Google Reader.
