Hacker News Reader

I'm not the OP, but I don't think he was necessarily talking about the Google Reader API (rather just the service). If you're getting hung up on documented/undocumented APIs, pick any one of the deprecated examples from this list (http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/05/spring-cleaning-for-s...) and substitute it in for Google Reader.

I was talking about the service, it doesn't really matter for the user if it's in a form of API or not. I do "PAY" google with my wasted brainpower when I see ads they serve (adblock possibility aside). Seriously though, there's nothing free but it works both ways, it's only fair and long lasting when both sides treat the arrangement as a contract.

How is that arrangement a contract? If you came to Starbucks every morning and bought a cup of coffee, would you consider that to be creating some kind of contract with them?
