Behind Google Reader Closure!

RSS feed aggregator Google was born in 2005. The deadline has no arrived. As expected, Google is expected to close on Monday yet its popular RSS service called Google Reader. In a blog post last April, Google explained in full about the reason behind it in detail. Despite criticism of social networks and petitions, Google has not folded, similar as at the time of the closure of Wave. Users will turn to alternatives that have magically multiplied lately. So officially, Google talks about loss of audience to justify its decision. Some argue instead that Google closes once more a service he cannot monetize, to focus on some other service for monetizing. According to All Things D, this is another reason for the closure. The dedicated team Reader does not even had a full-time engineer or product manager. To align Google Reader on other services in terms of respect of privacy, it would have had to spend a lot of money to set up an ad hoc structure. What Google does not want to do, according to an anonymous source quoted by All Things D. This does not stop at any cost to apply its new policy aims to prevent some scandals like those seen recently - among other things, the collection of data by Google Cars via Wi-Fi networks. Google Reader seems quite far from this type of problem, but its integration with other services that require compliance policy issues of privacy being applied to it. Which today leaves many people without Google Reader; All Things D raised so many questions about how many users it would take for the investment to be considered interesting? But Google's idea was to focus on Google+ as soon as possible and this plan was announced at the end of 2011.

Feedly getting ready to celebrate the Google Reader retirement!

July 1, Google Reader, the most popular RSS reader used by many apps will stop working. Feedly, with a replacement solution is particularly very active in recent months and has just finalized its cloud and put online a web app. Last week, the iOS app inaugurated Feedly cloud infrastructure that allows the house to totally get rid of Google Reader. This time, Feedly cloud is finalized and available to all users. The company says that its infrastructure already covers more than 25 million RSS feeds and billions of items per day.

 A dozen sites and applications support API Feedly or are about to do: - IFTT, which lets you create shares between different services; - Newsify an RSS reader on iOS; - Sprout Social, a marketing tool monitoring; - NextGen Reader and Menere, feed readers for Windows Phone and Windows; - 10 gNewsReader BlackBerry and Symbian / Meego; - And finally, Press and Pure News Widget on Android. And more… Feedly now works in the browser without the need to install an extension. The interface is very neat and should easily convince users of Google Reader. Connecting to Feedly is always with his Google account. No worries, however, to have its cash, Feedly transferred onto its infrastructure the famous Feedly cloud. The service says it will always continue to use Google authentication passed on July 1, and it will add support connections via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and LinkedIn.
