Twitter was too cumbersome for keeping up with news, so I finally succumbed to an RSS reader and hence Google Reader. I’m part of the not so happy it’s closing crowed.
Some funny tweets on the matter:
@znielsen: After Google Reader biting the dust I don’t know how anyone can be post-millennial. It’s clearly all downhill from here.
@BuzzFeed: Google Reader still drives far more traffic than Google+

One of the better comments I read said something like:
Google needs to sharpen their focus on driverless cars, magic glasses, google plus so they are dropping Reader.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing
