Background of the issue: Google closes its Reader, a convenient RSS reader online, deadline - July 1. For many, this is a chance to launch their own RSS reader with blackjack and whores, and pick up Google Reader’s scattering audience for nothing. Among the first to announce the development of a Reader replacement is Digg. For several months, the Digg Reader team has been publishing rare updates, and now ...
6 hours ago, the guys from Digg published a new post, in which they said that they had started sending out invites for the chosen ones, and “in a few hours” they promise to send invites to the other previously subscribing users. It is gratifying. It's funny that, among other things, the following phrase slips in the text:
"This beta version is the first and foremost goal for users of imminent shutdown."
In fact, this translates into Russian as follows: “we really, really wanted to have time to grab a weighty piece of the Google Reader audience, and all that needed to be done was to have time to write an online RSS reader in three months powerful influx of visitors. We have not coped with this task, but we are still sorry to miss this opportunity, so we put you on beta. Deal with it. "
')
What good does this mean for us, without five days of former users of Google Reader? The obvious: we still do not hang in a vacuum, and we will be picked up by someone. What is wrong with the word "beta"? Let me quote from the same news:
Over the next few months we will add:
- Search
...
- additional features, such as “mark as unread” and “show only unread”.
So says ta-daaam, come. "Show only unreads" is an additional feature that will be screwed over the next few months.
In the comments we share the options, who moved to where.
