A Little words and tears on Google Reader
I
can’t stand. I need say something about Google Reader death. I’m sad and
deeply disappointed about. I’m disappointed with Google for getting rid of this
great tool. I’m an enthusiastic reader of blogs. You can actually can find some
tips about what to read if you’re interested on the same stuff than I’m. I used

that I ever found on the Web. Thus when I realized that Google Reader existed I
was a real happy guy and many times more productive. It sounds nerd: I’m a
proud one!
