My favorite memory of once giving a small talk at the Google campus in 2012 was at the end someone asked me what my favorite Google product was and I said Reader, by leaps and bounds that it was a key part of my day on par with Gmail.

Everyone’s face dropped in the room and then my host said “Have you tried Google+? Anything you like about that?”

I still use RSS a ton also. I don't know why people get so upset about the end of Google Reader. There are plenty of other options.

@mathowie #Alt4You Actual image description for the third image (the funny meme): A man in beige slacks and a blue button-down is about to set off a line of dominoes where the first one is tiny and the last one is huge. The first one is labeled "Shuttering Google Reader", the big one says "Proliferation of modern fascism".

Make the jokes accessible too! :ablobcatattention: 🌼

@mathowie still hate Google for killing it. I started moving my digital life away from then since then. Last thing that needs to go is GMail, and it will go away eventually.

I'm grateful to @Inoreader for bringing back RSS to my information diet
