谷歌Reader

????谷歌推出Reader的那個(gè)年代,，把博客文章和新聞報(bào)道聚合到一處還是個(gè)挑戰(zhàn),。而Reader與其各大對手一樣，通過采用RSS技術(shù),，也即“真正簡易聚合”（Really Simple Syndication）,，讓用戶可以自行創(chuàng)建自動(dòng)聚合的內(nèi)容，從而解決了這個(gè)難題,。人們——尤其是硅谷的專業(yè)人士——很喜歡它，至少在社交媒體出現(xiàn)之前是這樣,。谷歌在宣布扼殺Reader的計(jì)劃時(shí)給出的解釋是,，這款應(yīng)用已經(jīng)逐年減少，因此公司希望更專注于少數(shù)產(chǎn)品上,。忠實(shí)用戶出離憤怒,。他們發(fā)布了大量帖子，呼吁谷歌重新考慮這個(gè)決定,，或者把源代碼捐給開源社區(qū),，由社區(qū)來運(yùn)營這一服務(wù)。這個(gè)抗議的浪潮是否能讓谷歌保留這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù),？等到它計(jì)劃終止運(yùn)行的那一天,，7月1日，答案自然會(huì)揭曉,。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Google Reader

????Google introduced Reader in another era, when getting blog posts and news articles in one place was a challenge. Reader, like its competitors, solved the problem by letting users create an automatic feed of what they wanted by using RSS technology, or Really Simple Syndication. People -- particularly Silicon Valley insiders -- loved it, at least until social media came along. In announcing its plan to kill Reader, Google explained that its use had declined over the years and that it wanted to focus on fewer products. Loyal users were outraged. In online postings, they called on Google to reconsider the decision or to donate the code to the open source community, which could then operate the service instead. Whether the outcry will be enough to get Google to stay the execution, scheduled for July 1, remains to be seen.
