Google has killed their Reader officially. The application previously provided people a way to access their RSS feeds. While RSS feeds has become an important part of people's lives especially those demanding news and information from different portals, Google decided that Google Reader is no longer worth keeping. Here is a list of the ten reasons why the company has done a great job doing so.

RSS Feeds is No Longer Hot Stuff

Google Reader came on the market back in 2005. The idea behind RSS is that people will use it for their information needs for the years to come. For some time, it was a valid assumption but the past few years proved that RSS is no longer the standard. This makes Google Reader a less appealing product.

Google News is Already Doing the Job

Google Reader offers people a way to get and deliver the latest news and information - but there is Google News to do that already. Google News is one of the most integral platforms right now for the company. It would not make sense for Google to continue running two applications that compete with each other.

It Cannot Make Any Money

One of the primary and evident goals for Google is to maximize their returns for every platform they put out. Larry Page has been clear about it when he began leading the company. It does not make any sense to invest in something that will not deliver them revenues and Google Reader is not doing that for them.

The Internet is Not Like Before

Gone are the days when the internet is just a vast information portal with unfiltered content. Web users are now meticulous and particular about the kind of information they want to get. There is an increasing demand for organized or more curated information. This is the main reason why applications like Flipboard are popular.

Dwindling User Base

Contrary to most of Google's platforms, Google Reader's user base is anything but competitive. A dwindling user base is enough reason for the company to kill its Reader.

There is a reason Google is the biggest internet giant today. They have a pretty good reason for killing an application that no longer serves a purpose - it is only a matter of time before they introduce another platform.
