Recently Google announced that it is pulling the plug on Google Reader on July 1st 2013. It was a weird feeling I was reading about this in Google Reader itself. I've been using Google Reader since past 4 years regularly. I feel this is one tool that Google has produced that is simple, easy to use and meets the needs.
From Google's perspective I totally get it why they want to go away from Google Reader.

- It is not an effective advertising revenue generator
- Is not as "Social" as Google+
- Standalone product and does not integrate with other Google's ecosystem
- Does not serve Google's enterprise push: Google's focus is not on its enterprise than regular common users as its add revenue has reached a crest
