The Death Of Google Reader Opens The Door To A Smarter Subscription Ecosystem | TechCrunch

Editor's note: Julien Genestoux is the founder and CEO of Superfeedr. We all know that Google Reader, which used to be the most obvious RSS subscription tool, is now gone. At the same time, we see “follow” buttons on just about every website. We are at a tipping point with two contradictory trends: the decreased visibility of RSS feeds and the popularity of the “follow” feature. Google Reader and its market share was the biggest road block to a world where “following” can be both decentralized (open!) and ubiquitous.

Our blog at @censys now has a proper RSS feed https://censys.com/feed/

Ich wollte rausfinden wie lange ich ernsthaft #rss2email verwendet hatte… aber ich glaube das war wirklich seitdem das Ende für #GoogleReader angekündigt wurde?

Mindestens waren es nachweisbar 10+ Jahre!

Dafür dass ich da nie nennenswert Aufwand reingesteckt habe, war das erstaunlich kosten/nutzen-Faktor! Das Ding lief einfach immer problemlos und leise im Hintergrund.

After 13 years of it being gone, my fingers still want to type "reader" when I open a new browser tab without a clear destination in mind.

I'm getting flashbacks now to my #iGoogle homepage which had a widget giving me NYT stories, or via #GoogleReader.

2006, in my Mac era.

When Apple made adequate hardware and good software.

P-p-p-p-powerbook!

@Catwoman69y2k I've concluded that much of the "join xyz platform for updates" mentality comes from the one-two punch of both web browsers ditching RSS and Atom and Google ditching Google Reader.

Say a free software project maintainer writes a development blog. The audience may or may not already have an RSS reader installed. This means the project maintainer might feel responsible for recommending a reader application for all 7 major platforms (Windows, macOS, desktop Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, Firefox extension). Otherwise, people will land on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators and experience analysis paralysis.

I guess one disadvantage of protocols is that platforms have tended to do better at landing pages than protocols. Is there a page to which a blogger can refer visitors who have never used RSS before?

Habe in den letzten Tagen 4 super coole #OpenSource #FOSS Tools installiert und genutzt (PHP, teilweise MySQL):

* #FreshRSS als eigenen kleinen RSS Reader (so in etwa wie #GoogleReader, falls den noch jemand kennt)

* #YOURLS zum Links-Verkürzen (so in etwa wie bit.ly)

* #PrivateBin zum (einmaligen) Teilen von Zugangsdaten o.Ä. als Alternative zu onetimesecret.com (was aus der EU kommt, glaube ich)

* #ShareX fürs Teilen von #Screenshots

Bin begeistert! Weitere Tipps?

@justincrozer I avoid using "echosystems" altogether?

I use Android on my smartphone because it gives me more freedom to choose how to use my devices;

I use MBP M1 but apart from macOS itself I don't use any other Apple software.

It's a simple result of not wanting to be stuck in closed garden… for a long while I was using gmail and other google services but then #gtalk and #googlereader got killed. Luckily, when I wanted to ditch gmail I already had my own domain so it was mostly a matter of switching MX records to be free of #google…
