For those who are not familiar with Google Reader (GR) here is a brief explanation from GR:
Google Reader helps you find and keep track of interesting stuff on the web. You can subscribe to your favorite websites, and keep up with what's popular. New content comes to your Google Reader when it's posted, so you don't need to visit individual sites.
Over the years GR has been a valuable resource to the Blogging Scene as it does not require any interaction between the visitor and the blog. Simply join GR, add any supported RSS Feed, and view the blog's newest articles. No more!
Internet Marketing Wise it will be missed because it was a free way to engage visitors and mix in a little marketing. GR was also a way to view more than one blog's RSS Feed in one setting, so cross promoting additional blogs with relevant articles also added a nice touch to the visitor experience and the marketing mix.
There are more than a few top publications that have been keeping track of the GR Closure. Today, since it is official, these publications and websites are offering up alternatives to GR. The more respectable publications have some good advise and that being.. plan to move to a new RSS Reader A.S.A.P. , Make the move, and Notify your readers, so they are not 'left behind'.
One thing is certain.. This is one Google Advantage I will certainly miss.
