The Case for RSS
The big offender here is Google. They nuked it with killing Reader and FeedBurner is also minutes away of being sunset.<p>Choosing between evils, Google seems a better bet then Facebook, ofcourse, but these actions they&#x27;ve taken will backfire for them eventually. The more &quot;open&quot; and &quot;accessible&quot; web, should be in their benefit, long term thinking.<p>But what I see, what they&#x27;re busy with is self driving cars, google glasses, augmented reality and all of that: GREAT.<p>But supporting some basic, easy, cheap, webstandards, they&#x27;re just completely neglecting and they might up being the next AT&amp;T, or IBM.<p>They do have some charm offensives going (&quot;Google News Lab&quot;) and, well, basically any big tech corp looks better then Facebook -- if you care about the internet in it&#x27;s current form, Google is really screwing us over.  I really am convinced Google is completely losing it&#x27;s way.<p>There&#x27;s no real good quick adequate alternative that I can think of, but they could&#x27;ve just done things so much better, and it would&#x27;ve costed them, quite literally, nothing.
