Hacker News Reader

I'll continue to publish and consume feeds, regardless of what Google thinks. Lets not let them set the de-facto standards for the web.

I'm with you 100%. For an incredibly long time I've wanted to see Firefox assimilate the Brief extension. I especially hope they do so with all the furore surrounding Twitter.

Well, why should an RSS reader be a program be part of core Chrome, if a mail reader isn't? Google likes to push their cloud services after all. I use an addon that notifies me if there's an RSS feed on a page -- I can click on it to add the RSS to my Google Reader account.

Google is using Feedburner in Blogspot. I do not expect them to shut it down without providing proper replacement. It would be absurd otherwise.

Feedburner is an optional addin to Blogger. Blogger is by no means integrated enough to hold keep Fb from being killed though.

I just noticed that Chrome pops up a box asking me where I want to subscribe to a feed. Is that a new feature?
