    Three Lessons From the Death of Google Reader

    Last week Google faced a surge of backlash for its decision to retire Reader. As a fan of RSS feeds and daily user of Reader, I identified with the rage being expressed online. However, as I narrated my woes to some of my friends, they seemed confused. As I paused for breath, a friend asked, “Umm, what is Reader, exactly?”

    Here I was, in righteous rage about a service that I clearly cared about, but the larger world hardly knew that Reader existed, let alone that it would shutdown on July 1. Come to think of it, news and even tech websites invariably explain what the term RSS means, assuming that a good chunk of their readers might not know what RSS stands for or what it does.

    UnoDNS from UnoTelly Review

    If you live in the United States you have probably enjoyed the freedom of viewing a lot of streaming content. Much of that content can’t be viewed outside of the United States, so for people like me who would like to also view that content, we are pretty much out of luck. Well, almost.

    Being a Canadian, I felt joy when I heard that Netflix was finally going to be available in Canada, but unfortunately became disappointed when I realized that much of what Americans can view would not be available in my country. In the age of the Internet, which connects the world in a way no other technology has done in the past, there are still many barriers in place that limit how we are connected.
