Google is shutting down Reader. I am now seriously considering migrating this blog to something not Google-hosted or affiliated.
Reader is how I interact with the internet. Reader is how I follow hunreds of site: news sites, personal blogs, other aggregators.
Reader is the only service I visit every time I have an internet connection. I don't even do that with my e-mail account.
I understand that essentially nobody reads this blog, but I have to say it. Google killing Reader is a strong argument for creating your own server, with privately hosted e-mail, and your own, stable RSS reader.
Google shuttering Reader says, to me, "Don't trust 'The Cloud.'"
