Like many others I use Google Reader daily, it is hard to understand how they can kill such a good and useful product. Apparently it has to do with G+, see

I will give them this: they have an export stunt, and I apparently can move to others. I don't use the google front page they killed off, Yahoo instead.
But seriously, does anyone have a crystal ball? I just can't figure Google out!
- Are they consolidating? .. i.e. converting everything to G+?
- What's next to go? .. Google Docs? It gets use by digerati, but few others.
- Is GMail safe? .. It gets a lot of use, but its easy to scrape off the ads, so can't be a profit center.
I'd certainly pay for many of google services .. although I doubt this would stop them from randomly killing off ones I care about.
Is there some obvious trend, like I mentioned above, for example .. moving everything to G+?
Damn!
