Jane Austen spent her last days and died here

WHY WHY WHY?

I was stunned to learn today that Google will be shutting down its Google Reader. I couldnā€™t believe my eyes when I read it. How could this be? Has Google gone insane? Why did Google have to abandon its loyal ā€˜readerā€™ users? Over the years, Iā€™ve grown accustomed to using Reader for virtually everything technically possible ā€“ reading the news and blogs, keeping an eye on comments, house hunting, job hunting, video searching for Indian Railwaysā€¦the list was limited only by my imagination. Unfortunately, RSS requires a populace thatā€™s a little more tech savvy than the current load of iCrap fed retards. RSS fell victim to an entire generation too used to a brain-numbing social-networking and share-everything phenomenon. My heart is broken. Goodbye, Google Reader. You will be dearly missed.
