Google+ was too much of a copy of the existing social networks at the time.
I'm still a Google Reader orphan though.
2013 was a terrible year for media consumption.
Google killed the only thing about Google that I had any sort of true feelings for. It was exactly what I wanted in a feed reader. It almost killed my affinity to read the news during my commutes.
It was the same year that The Onion stopped printing paper copies, too.
It was also the year The Hangover 3 was released at the request of nobody, but I digress.
RIP Google Reader.
