@mjg59 Unpopular take: Google Reader was nothing special, but lots of people who should have known better decided that this re-centralized version of RSS was equivalent to RSS, and so when Google Reader died so did RSS. All the anger about Google killing RSS is wrong, they just killed one barely-above-mediocre app.

Google Reader's one innovation was "what if cache". It was the Clownflare of blog syndication.
