Google goes back on it's word. How can I trust you with other products?

Google's excuse to put down Reader was completely hypocritical to the entire point of Google Reader. They say that information is a constant stream. And people are constantly checking website for updates and new information like Twitter and Facebook. That they no longer need a curated personal news feed! And yet, when you read articles from Reader's launch day, Google introduced Reader as a friend to help to catch all the best of that constant stream of news.

"The amount of information on the Web is rapidly increasing. Google Reader helps you keep up with it all by organizing and managing all the content you're interested in. Instead of continuously checking your favorite sites for updates, you can let Google Reader do it for you."

Dear Google,

Google+ is amazing and while I'm still getting into the community on my personal account, my other account that I follow people on right now is really full of news and communication. Although, I really miss that unread count. Much the reason why I despise Flipbook, or board, or whatever it's called. And yet, I try not to get too into google products anymore. Because, why should I? Who's to say you are going to keep it around for so long? It's not a HUGE user base like facebook or Twitter. I bet Reader had more users, and there was more social interaction on there then I'm seeing on other profiles on Google+.

You killed off such an innovative tool just so we can go back to the way things used to be? Are you going to pull a switch in another 7-8 years and bring Reader back and we'll call it innovative, fresh and new?

Meanwhile, I'm stuck with second rate products that lose my saved for later articles, and miss articles in a feed. Even automatically stopped following feeds I'm subscribed to. This never (reportedly) happened in Reader, but many others are experiencing it.

So, not to state I will not use Google products (Android phone, chromebook/box, soon an android tablet, Google+ user, Youtube user, Gmail User, Maps, Calendar...etc. I use 'em all). It's to say that I'm afraid to use them for fear of losing them. I'd be lost without Calendar, my Gmail, and literally lost sometimes without Maps! (By the by, nice new interface!) I would just like a little security knowing I'm good for the next decade. In that time we may see innovation, and some of those products may fall off the map (Get it?!). But I did not witness that this year. Oh no. I witness the opposite. I witness a devolution in the internet. A step backwards to an era in which I struggled to keep up the latest news and exciting reports. So thank you, Google. Thank you for letting me miss out on so much more.


Sincerely,
Keith
