> I'm still angry at Google for killing Reader. It was the best way to consume content on the web.

I’m happy, it lead to an explosion of available readers, including many self-hosted ones.

Walkers did the same with their crisps ("chips" for left-ponders), made them healthy by reducing the fat content, disgusting, like eating dried leaves. End result: a wealth of new crisp brands and people keen to try them. My favourite, Salty Dog [1], couldn't have happened without Walkers pissing on their own chips ("fries" for left-ponders).

Did they get the memo that fat isn't really the enemy? (well, satfat still not ideal, but...)
