There's a lot of things springing up today it looks like. Since we've got til July I'm gonna stick with G for now and let the dust settle, there's bound to be a couple of strong favourites after a while.
Bah, I use Google Reader a lot for keeping up on a lot of webcomics. *Checks...* About 60 of them in fact, plus a handful of blogs and stuff, some of which aren't updated regularly/consistently so having to check each website individually would be a ballache.
I'll probably find something else to use at some point, hopefully I can just export my subscriptions instead of re-adding them all manually.
Yeah it looks like loads of people either already do or very soon will import the subs and google already let you export.
I am a creature of habit so I need to start getting used to something else long before they turn it off. But I just found myself using Google Reader. One of the big things that is going to make it harder is I use a Chrome Add-In called One Number so with two clicks I'm in Reader. I don't see a way to make it look at another service, so I might have to remove that so it stops reminding me of what could have been!
How does this G+ thing work? I just set it up on my phone, added UoOOouuUU from his link earlier, soon after had a message that my mother in law added me but can't see either of those people when I go to the G+ app.
You've not added me according to my G+
Ah, right you are. I didn't actually click add, just looked at your profile thingy. Done now.
Still not seeing it. Try again :D
(Have to actually add me to a circle)
The biggest thing about GR is that it's a service that you can sync with using any device or app. That's the part that people are going to miss when it's gone, since although there are plenty of RSS clients around, a huge number of them rely on GR for syncing.
I think people are working on duplicating that bit as well though. So there should be some web-based framework to take over, just need to wait and see which one.
