Isn't the main lesson from Google Reader's being discontinued, not about UI or features, but rather about continued support? The main "feature" for a new reader should be it's ability and commitment to remain viable for the long term.


It's Open Source, so you're free to host it locally or go with anyone else who wants to pick it up and host it themselves.


I would probably first of all think the lesson is that whatever revenue it added for google it was too little to justify the maintenance of Reader.

For a much smaller company on the other hand it might actually be a lot of money.

It's Innovators dilemma kind of mutated.
