Microsoft - Selling The Past

This is Microsoft trying to sell the past. Pretty much everything I do nowadays requires the Internet. Feedly, productivity and Citrix connectivity to work.

Google Reader increases my use of Google Plus

Google seems to use numbers to justify decisions. What if the number of users are small but encompasses influential individuals in the tech market? The CEO of any company is only 1 person but they can cause significant pain for all employees. Numbers is not analysis.

I also share a significant number of articles from Reader to Plus. This will increase the tumbleweed perception of Plus yet again.
