Are you Reading this on Google Reader? If So, Please Read This Now
Google is shutting down it's Google Reader product on July 1, 2013. That means your account will disappear and all that hard work assembling your fave sites to read in one place will be gone...unless you switch to another RSS reader before the deadline.
I recommend @feedly. It only took two clicks and 15 seconds to migrate. It was super simple. Just go here to get started: http://ow.ly/j9bMH

Google Reader’s Death Is Proof That RSS Always Suffered From Lack Of Consumer Appeal
The idea of RSS was one that never quite gripped with normal Internet users.
Google Reader was just a glorified email inbox. Sure, you could skim news quickly from your favorite blogs, but it lacked any other wow factor for people that actually matter. Additionally, it was nearly impossible to monetize, as the same argument about ads in RSS feeds would get the same three geeks angry each time.
Sure, for us geeks at social seo land absolutely love consuming as much information as possible, RSS is a wonderland
Google always do spring cleaning. They do not earn on rss reader - they close the program.
