Google has finally rested its Google Reader with a subject
line that this could be the end of this aspect of the internet.
ITRealms gathered
that following the announcement to close Google Reader on July 1, 2013, the
search engine corporation has finally carried out its proclamation on Google
Reader.
A mail obtained from the Google Reader team this morning
read thus “Google Operating System: The End of This Internet” in its subject electronic mail (email).
"Congratulations, you've reached the end of this
internet. Look for another?" part of the email read.
Lamenting this service, one of its ardent user, Giacomo Rambaldi, confirmed to ITRealms that was
the message one received when trying to
use the Google Reader bookmarklet.
Although it sounds like a joke, he described it as “quite
bitter, now that the end of Google Reader is really close.”
According to him, Google Reader was more than just a feed
reader, it was probably the most well-connected Google service. It was
integrated with so many Google services and now all of them will be a little
less useful.
He elucidated that the missing features, which relied on
Google Reader, will show how important this service really was.
Pointing out that iGoogle's canvas view for feeds was
powered by Google Reader and now it's no longer available, just like the Reader
gadget.
ITRealms recalls
that Google Reader was a
content application and platform provided by Google that was an aggregator
of content served by web feeds. It was created in early 2005 by Google engineer
Chris Wetherell and launched on October 7, 2005, through Google Labs.
Google Reader grew in popularity to support a number of apps
which used it as a platform for serving news and information to people. On
March 13, 2013, Google announced that Google Reader would be closed on July 1,
2013, due to declining use.
