Google is killing the Google Reader service from 1st July 2013 which will be a part of its Spring Cleaning.



The new closures bring the total services stopped to 70 since first cleanup in 2011. The following services are being axed -
  • Google Reader which gets content from subscribed websites usually by RSS feed.
  • Google said that "While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined."
  • Google Cloud Connect which is a plug-in that uploads MS Office files automatically to Google Drive on Windows PCs. Google Drive client does the same functionality so the plug-in is getting killed on April 30th.
