@caseynewton inertia is a huge thing here. And old habits are hard to break. When my mind is lazy, I still type in reader.google.com or even friendfeed.com because that's what I want to visit.

Until there are sustained outages or mass account issues and deletions, it's unlikely the power users will walk away from the site for moral or outrage purposes.

I deleted the app (and FB too), locked my account and deleted my history because that site doesn't deserve my content any more.
