"I'll bet [Google] Reader looked bad on the balance sheet but the follow-on benefits of knowing who was reading and liking what posts and which blogs were influential were incalculable."

@amoroso @sheephorse well, everyone had to be converted to Google+ at that time, so...

@dimpase @amoroso I actually really liked the design of Google+ and thought it could do well. But they should have integrated reader and G+ together rather than get rid of reader. A lost opportunity for Google that gave Facebook the crown.

@sheephorse I loved Google+ too.

@dimpase If they wanted to keep Reader alive they might have shoved Google+ into it like they did with other products.
