WIth Google Killing Products, Is Reader Next? - http://www.micropersuasion.com/2009...

I hope not. It's a convenient, reasonably functional way to check on my fav feeds. I don't always want to launch a separate client for that. Hop back to my Gmail tab, select Reader and I'm good to go. I also like full feed readers and ones that show images and clickable video links.

I can boil this down simply: if it's not core search or part of Google Apps or currently monetized, it's at risk or at minimum will be monetized.
- Steve Rubel
feed demon is three syllables.

FeedDemon: 3 syllables. I won't mind going back to NetNewsWire. Also 3 syllables.

oh, and yeah, google reader is awesome. unfortunately i reckon they will monetise it no matter what blogs think. they could include their ads in a way that doesn't stop people advertising in their feeds. e.g. a side bar, like in gmail.
- Scot Mcphee
d'oh!, my point still stands!
- Glenn Slaven
Data, data, data. GReader may not be directly monetized but you bet they are mining the attention data just as Ask is mining Bloglines attention data. Lots of juice tidbits in there to support behavioral targeting for example and than some. With nearly 70% of the RSS reader market share, GReader is here to stay.
- Bill Flitter
No way
- Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
@Ed but they will need to monetize it. Maybe Flitter can help.
- Steve Rubel
@Bill but within a small market. Why not push it broader?
- Steve Rubel
@Steve. Agreed. But I think it's a core property. I can't remember the fine print, but I think they can data mine Reader same as Gmail, correct?
- Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
Ike from the blog's comments is right, and I'd like to hear more on what he thinks will happen.

Thank gawd, I love Reader, it's easily the best aggregation tool I've used, and I've used lots. The new design was great, the mobile versions are great, it works great as an Web App in Chrome, and I can only see it getting better.
- Will Higgins™
Nope, Reader is my inbox for RSS feeds. They wouldn't kill it because I need/use it would they? =)
- B2B Specialist
Google Reader is basic for my online activity: icurrently use it not only to keep in sync with my feeds but also as a blogging platform (i've got a blog post about this if you want more details: http://mirkofm.tumblr.com/post...). Moreover, its mobile interface is huge and i will definitely miss it if they're putting it aside.

I am disappointed that Notebook is not going any further. I use it all the time when researching things and for organizing notes for meetings.

For those of you with too many notes to count...you can export them to Google Docs. Tools / Export to Google Docs.
- Claudio Calligaris
They do monetize it indirectly through feedburner and adsense for feeds - the more users they get reading feeds the more will see those ads. Plus Reader is so heavily tied into iGoogle that it barely makes sense to look at them as two products.
- Eric P
I don't think google reader will broaden it's audience unless it provides some additional ways to view the posts that are independent of which feeds it's in.
- Shawn McCollum
I don't care for Google reader and I can't like it. But the end of the developing of Notebook was the worst news of this year for me. I used it every day, many times to save links to post and I couldn't find anything as good as it for me. That's really sad and none of their suggestions have the same features or usability as it.
- Bibi
Feedly is the future of Reader.
- Kevin Gamble
I agree with Bill, Reader is a goldmine of attention data. It may not directly generate revenue, but it is still valuable to Google. Google could also choose to directly monetize it. It wouldn't be too hard to throw contextual ads into the interface without being disruptive. And lastly, I'm not sure it's the future of Reader, but Feedly is pretty cool, and getting cooler all the time.

Yeah...without careful management (or the ability to charge during the day), I'm not sure if the iPhone is ready for a full day of work as the primary tool.

Recently I did the same experiment with a first gen iPhone. 7am to 10pm, minus 2h of airplane mode, but with a reasonable amount of iPod usage, websurfing, map checking and phone use. It died while I had to wait for my train home in Cologne (it might have been enough if local transportation wasn't as late as it was, again).
- Holger Eilhard
I've had similar experiences. The drawback to a small device doing too MUCH? Used it for a day of touring. Combo of websurfing, direction-finding, and photo taking burned the battery down quite quickly.

I considered opening the eyes, but I thought that would play too much with the original illustration. The tweets are indeed trying to pull down the whale into the water, but the whale is prevailing against the strain. That whale is rising up, like a phoenix, or at least that's what I was trying to convey. ;) Thanks again to Steve for the inspiration.

Will the internet have an effect on the US presidential election of 2008?
- Andrew Baron
It already has had an effect by changing how much power the traditional "bundlers" have had (people who raise large amounts of money).
- Robert Scoble
The internet will definitely have an effect on the outcome of the election. It has already caused the younger generations who typically have not paid much attention to politics, to become engaged & register to vote.
- Jeff P. Henderson
It also makes everyone a couch strategist. There's so much information available now that before was privy only to those on the "inside" that everyone has the chance to feel like an "insider". It all goes back to Dean's campaign though. He was the first to galvanize the internet and carried his 50 State strategy over to the DNC when he took over.
