Google Reader set to bid goodbye: Can Google be convinced to save it?

Google Reader set to bid goodbye: Can Google be convinced to save it? | Firstpost

Google Reader is an invaluable tool for news bloggers like me. You can set it up so that when you visit an interesting site,all the future details fro that site go to Reader and you can scroll through your favourites without having to continually type in URLs
They are probably closing it because they cant make money from it !!
