Killing off Google Reader is obviously a push to get more people to join Google+ and keep track of stuff by Circles.<br /><br />The problem, of course, is that eventually Google+ will be like Facebook, where the majority of content is locked behind an account. What't the point of a blog if this happens? Google+ turns into IM with profiles, that's all.<br /><br />It's a smart business move on Google's part, but as long as we have choices we should exercise those choices. I'm a Mac user, but I'm not slavish in my devotion to the point that I ONLY use Apple products. Getting locked in to a particular format or a particular service traps your stuff behind a wall that is almost impossible to emerge from.Matthew Schmeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348372645986806502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-51450302305515396462013-04-19T04:34:24.198-04:002013-04-19T04:34:24.198-04:00Good call.

I know I used to get a notice when you started up G+ and posted something, but that seems to have gone away. Something is still working because my email was buried under posts from the G+ swords and wizardry forum. <br />Jason Zavodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109502376214104276noreply@blogger.com
