RSS aggregation applications and add-ons quickly became a very active field as this link attests.
GOOGLE READER APP FOR MAC UPDATE
When you update your blog, it’s automatically posted to the user’s chosen “feed aggregator”. To subscribe, a user simply pushes a button. RSS lets you syndicate your website by adding a few lines of HTML code. Nothing greased the move to all-digital news as much as the RSS protocol ( Real Simple Syndication, to which my friend Dave Winer made crucial contributions). But as online access to real world dailies became progressively more ubiquitous and easier to manage, I let my doorstep subscriptions lapse (although I’ll always miss the wee hour thud of the NYT landing on our porch…an innocent pleasure unavailable in my country of birth).

Sometimes the habit turns profitable: The hours I spent poring over computer manuals on Saturday mornings in my youth may have seemed cupidic at the time, but the “research” paid off.īack before the Web flung open the 10,000 Libraries of Alexandria that I dreamed of in the last chapter of The Third Apple my reading habit included a daily injection of newsprint.

I have already downloaded the Android version of Google’s new app for collecting notes, photos, and info, called Google Keep… Here’s the problem: Google now has a clear enough track record of trying out, and then canceling, “interesting” new software that I have no idea how long Keep will be around… Until I know a reason that it’s in Google’s long-term interest to keep Keep going, I’m not going to invest time in it or lodge info there. James Fallows, the polymathic writer for The Atlantic, expressed a growing distrust of the company’s “experiments” in A Problem Google Has Created for Itself: The move didn’t sit well with users whose vocal cords were as strong as their bond to their favorite blog reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months. The other items on Google’s spring cleaning list, most of which are tools for developers, are being replaced by superior (or simpler, friendlier) services: Are you using CalDAV in your app? Use the Google Calendar API, instead Google Map Maker will stand in for Google Building Maker Google Cloud Connect is gone, long live Google Drive.įor Google Reader’s loyal following, however, the company had no explanation beyond a bland “usage has declined”, and it offered no replacement nor even a recommendation other than a harsh “get your data and move on”: On July 1st - two weeks from today - the RSS application will be given a gold watch and a farewell lunch, then it will pack up its bits and leave the building for the last time. Three months ago, Google announced the “retirement” of Google Reader as part of the company’s second spring cleaning.
