The end of the road

We are furious that Google has decided to suddenly kill its rss reader, which so many of us have come to rely on. Their excuses are pathetic at best. They are starting to act worse than facebook. So, after an hour of frantic searching last night for a mobile solution without success, mama has decided to return to what she is familiar with. She is returning to Yahoo. She will use their homepage as a reader at least temporarily. She doesn't like the layout but its so much better than what she found otherwise. She had found another web-based client but it refuses to let her import. She may tinker with that too, but right now she is just more upset than anything and is looking for solutions. If google keeps up with this what's next, Picasa? They keep using Google+ as an excuse. Well yanno what? The world doesn't revolve around it. You will never compete with facebook solely because of actions such as this one against reader. Geesh. We will let ya know how it goes, mama is going to tinker later today. We will also have another Nimmy story later.

I've got a question...  I don't think I understand what the Google reader is.  Is it the reading list on Blogger?  Something different?  Help!  Please?

Nerissa, no darling, if you don't use it you'd not know and if you did you'd know. Hugs

I agree. I have some comic strips I can get no other way and am now scrambling for another way. it took HOURS to get everything manually imported to yahoo. I'm still furious. but gotta channel that. plans, options...
