The chart you showed for Google Reader - is not its USAGE, but its SEARCH trend i.e. the Term 'Google Reader' was searched less often lately. However, its usage has increased considerably.<br /><br />I have been a highly active user of Google Reader.

The backlash they would get from the small (in Google's terms) but dedicated group of users who rely on the app to stay informed.<br />2. The willingness of other providers to jump into the void left by Reader's demise (Digg, etc).<br /><br />These are users Google will simply lose to other services, not ones that plus will gain.notreadbyhumanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14651030212758441424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-82276623881531954942013-03-14T21:51:46.784-07:002013-03-14T21:51:46.784-07:00July 1 may be the day they kill Google Reader but ...July 1 may be the day they kill Google Reader but it will also be the day I kill my Google+ account. #cancelplusdayJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817340401160413792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-11842593417905644852013-03-14T14:42:27.846-07:002013-03-14T14:42:27.846-07:00I use Reader EVERYDAY!

Or sell it to someone else. But Reader is integral to how I read my news. Every other app SUCKS compared. They are too flashy. I have too much content to read, reader lets me quickly and easily see what I want and then read it. Flipboard, Currents, etc. are all way to complex.

Show them the numbers.<br /><br />I'm sure they are only viewing pageviews, and not:<br />- counting api calls made by third party apps<br />- comparing currint user base with the actual market size (not so many users use RSS worldwide)<br /><br />They are simply underestimating the power & control they have on this market by being the central point of sync. <br /><br />Maybe this is only a bout how to monetize the product.
