5 Services We'd Rather See Google Kill Than Google Reader

I don't understand why everyone is complaining about reader going away. Try chrome with RSS Feed Reader (feeder.co) it is probably the best RSS tool I've used.

HAHAHA, makes me laugh and loose a bit of respect... reader is about the least important of google offerings.. and they have a pretty good grasp of user count that actually uses it.. sorry your one of the few people that does.. I bet the petition consists of every last person that even uses the service.. while there are 10x that number on google+. but whatever..

DON'T SUPPORT GOOGLE!

Google has shown a shocking level of indifference to a relatively new form of crime in which gangs take advantage of Google's own Page Ranking system to spread slander about a victim.

It is a relatively new extortion scheme and Google has been slow to recognize its responsibility in allowing this crime to unfold.

Gangs are figuring out that they can have THEIR slander about someone appear FIRST in a Google Search of their victim's name.

They steal a person's wallet and then use the internet to publish slander about the person whose wallet they stole.

They circulate this slander on a large network which increases the Google Page Rank of the slander.

The slander then appears first in a Google search of the victim's name.

If the slander wasn't created using a Google product, as far as Google is concerned...

....You are on your own.

This puts the gangs in complete control over their victim. Especially if the slander that they publish involves the abuse of kids.

How many people reading this would want to go to the police or an attorney to speak about a post on the internet that mentions you as a sex offender?

Not something that makes you jump for joy, is it?

Gangs know this and they also know how indifferent Google is to slander not published with Google products.

So they are quickly recognizing that they can extort money out of people using this tactic. Or they sell "solutions" to the problem.

Until Google wakes up to this and becomes more aggressive in fighting it, I am using BING!

life with it idiots

Eventually Google is gonna kill EVERYTHING that doesn't enable it to know EVERYTHING you know/our would want to know and flood your brain with advertising. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY TO NOT SEE ADS, THEY GET PAID TO SHOW YOU ADS, GOOGLE ALWAYS WIN EVEN WHEN THEY LOOSE. Heck @ a point they will even become the internet.

You're suggesting that they get rid of Google Translate?! What's wrong with you? That's one of the most useful tools on the internet, regardless of glitches. Show me a better free translator tool on the internet and I will be impressed (and I will use it).

until I saw the bank draft of $6443, I didn't believe that my mother in law could truley making money part-time online.. there moms best frend has done this 4 only about twenty two months and just now repaid the dept on their apartment and bought themselves a Mini Cooper. this is where I went..........

@Kevin Elzinga 1: Agreed. Unfortunately I have to use Google+......

I strongly agree with you, PopSci.

I second that including google translate is a terrible addition to this list. Why suggest they kill any program for that matter. They have plenty of money don't they, they should just let the programs live or even just make it open source instead of killing them off matrix style...

Every day I lose more and more respect for PopSci writers.

I have to agree with Popsci. Hey here is an idea that might stick. How abut forgeting all the stuff to compete with other people doing other things better and become the fastest, slickest, the absolute best seach and research engine in the entire world! Undeniably the best...that would be good and hey, perhaps your advertising revenues would pick up because everyone in the world uses Goggle.

Are you mad,all 5 services are important and use full.
"It's starting to feel a little old-hat to make fun of Google Plus."

I too am losing more & more respect for PopSci writers every month. Top five reasons I cancelled my subscription? Not sure which is the worst waste of time.. This article? Reading it? Responding to it? I guess I was just trying to warn my fellow PopSci readers out there (Find something else to read).
