Google has announced they will discontinue Google Reader on July 1, 2013. The company state that usage has declined and they want to focus on fewer products.
Google已宣布将于2013年7月1日停止提供Google Reader 。 该公司指出,使用量已经下降,他们希望专注于更少的产品。
I’m stunned. I’ve been using the application daily for several years and even Google states it has a “devoted following”.
我很震惊 我每天都在使用该应用程序已有几年了,甚至Google都说它有“忠实的追随者” 。
Google Reader was launched as a Labs project in 2005. It was a relative latecomer to the news aggregation party and entered a thriving desktop and web-based Really Simple Syndication (RSS) reader market. The free product killed off many competitors including Bloglines (although that was subsequently acquired and revived).
Google阅读器是2005年作为实验室项目启动的。它相对于新闻聚合聚会而言是相对较晚的,后来进入了蓬勃发展的基于桌面和网络的Really Simple Syndication(RSS)阅读器市场。 这种免费产品杀死了包括Bloglines在内的许多竞争对手(尽管后来被收购并复兴了)。
Its demise started in 2011 when Google substituted social features for +1 buttons and disbanded the development team. The product has been neglected in maintenance mode ever since, but it remained one of the best — and only — options for RSS users. Its success means there are relatively few alternatives; NewsBlur has been experiencing server overloads since the news was announced.
Google的灭亡始于2011年,当时Google 用+1按钮取代了社交功能并解散了开发团队。 从那时起,该产品就一直在维护模式中被忽略,但它仍然是RSS用户最好的也是唯一的选择之一。 它的成功意味着替代品相对较少 ; 自从消息宣布以来, NewsBlur就一直在服务器过载。
Several petitions to save Google Reader running have started at:
为了保存Google阅读器的运行而进行的几次请愿开始于:
Change.org — more than 50,000 signatures
Change.org-超过50,000个签名
keepgooglereader.com — more than 25,000 signatures

The decision to scrap Wave never caused such criticism and at least Google open-sourced the codebase. That appears unlikely for Reader.
放弃Wave的决定从未引起这样的批评,至少Google开源了代码库。 对于Reader来说,这似乎不太可能。
RSS死了吗? (Is RSS Dead?)
I last discussed the death of RSS in October 2010. The XML-based technology powers many cross-server communications. Search engines — including Google — analyze feeds to aid web and product indexing.
我上一次在2010年10月讨论了RSS的死局 。基于XML的技术为许多跨服务器通信提供了动力。 搜索引擎(包括Google)分析供稿,以帮助对网络和产品建立索引。
RSS’s role as a protocol-like technology seems assured, but Google Reader’s termination will almost certainly end its use user-subscription service. Admittedly, RSS was too complex for many and never achieved mainstream success; social networks quickly became a more popular way of spreading news.
RSS作为一种类似于协议的技术的作用似乎已经得到保证,但是Google Reader的终止几乎肯定会终止其使用用户订阅服务。 诚然,RSS对于许多人来说过于复杂,并且从未获得主流成功。 社交网络Swift成为一种更流行的新闻传播方式。
But it’s a sad day. Let’s hope Google listens to the users — otherwise Reader will disappear forever.
但这是悲伤的一天。 希望Google能够倾听用户的声音,否则Reader将会永远消失。
