It's still there.
- ricardobeat 13y agoFor now.
- jlgreco 13y agoDespite the clear warning signs, I am willing to put money on people whinging in a year or two when they shut down those servers, just like everyone got all upset about Reader.
- npsimons 13y agoAnd whining about shutting down Reader accomplished what, exactly?
- jlgreco 13y agoAbsolutely nothing of course. Didn't stop people from whining; people love to whine on the internet.
- sp332 13y agoThere was no good replacement for Reader two years ago. There are plenty of federated XMPP servers around now.
- subway 13y agoPlenty of federated XMPP servers, true, but unlike Reader, XMPP requires other users on federated servers to be useful. Since the Reader brouhaha I'd been considering moving away from GApps back to hosting my own mail and xmpp. Now Google has made the XMPP side of that worthless, 87% of my IM contacts use G(Mail|Talk), and will switch to Hangouts.
