Yep its true. Google Reader faces its Apocalypse in a few months.

RIP Google Reader.
You were a great sport..
Google Reader, the eight-year-old RSS reader that became an industry standard, has been given a funeral date:
July 1, 2013.

Though the lack of Google Reader will be a terrible loss…

..there are
few reasons
that lead us
to think
that we
wont miss
Reader as
much…

1. Consistently dropping “certain feeds” and then posting ten of them at once weeks later.
It gets pretty annoying with time.

2. Even after unsubscribing from several blogs[multiple times] Google kept signing
back up for them!

3.Other alternatives like Feedly are far better, offer more options and is much user friendly than our poor old
Reader

4. Everyone hated the new design Google
Reader under went in 2011
![Page 10: Google reader](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55867138d8b42af53a8b45f2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
5. Google Reader has not had any new features in years
Although all these features are cool, they came way back in 2008.
![Page 11: Google reader](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55867138d8b42af53a8b45f2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
6. Subscriptions!Managing them is a real
pain.
There is no easy way to change their
order through setting(you need to be
in a reader view to drag and drop
them)

7. All the social features are removed and replaced by a Google
+1 button.
Clicking the +1 button only adds the page to your Google Profile &you need to click the "share on Google+" box to
share the page with your friends.
TRASH

8. Feed column cannot be expanded
It is a concern for users with smaller screens. The feed column takes up a whole lot of space

9. Lacks imagination.
Looks a lot like Gmail

10. Folders and tags cannot public.
The blogroll widget and the associated public page don’t
updated.

11. All the items +1'd from Google Reader are treated like any other
pages.
There's no way to read the posts shared by your friends in Google
Reader
![Page 17: Google reader](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55867138d8b42af53a8b45f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
12. Doesn't offer keyboard shortcuts for sharing posts: Shift+s, Shift+d.
![Page 18: Google reader](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55867138d8b42af53a8b45f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
13. Home page! It’s completely up to Google Reader what is shown on
reader’s Home page.
You may tweak the Homepage but cannot arrange the Blogs according to your
hierarchy.

14. Its Slow
Scrolling works fine. But The Reader becomes awfully slow after performing few tasks.

15. Too much white space
