Google Reader will close on July 1, 2013
A message appeared on the Google blog that one of the most popular RSS aggregators, Google Reader, will be closed as part of the “spring cleanup.” Management explains this by the gradual fading of interest in the service and the need to concentrate on fewer products. “Purge” is Google’s traditional rejection of obsolete services . Previously, iGoogle, Desktop, Sync and Notepad were closed in this way.
