At this point I don't even know what will convince me that stuff like this that Google releases isn't yet another dead-in-a-year product. We've seen a number of great service being killed just in the past few months alone. What makes this any different?

My only advice to kids is: don't make this something you depend on. Remember if you aren't paying for it, you're the product, and Google could care less about you and your silly needs when it comes time for some Spring Cleaning™.

You may think that you're blowing peoples' minds with that "you're the product" line - but if you're literally selling your skills then that is the whole point - it's a positive!

Oh please drop this "Oh Google killed Reader" drama already. If you are interested in this use it. Engage as a user first if you do not trust. This is not a life and death application anyway (Reader or many of the dead services were not either). Products may or may not live they need to see if this will float or sink.
