That’s my point. It’s a huge talking point amongst geeky crowds. Is there any data to point to that though? It has always felt to me that Google Reader was never that big. Niche crowds made it seem like a huge deal though. I could be wrong. I’d just like something concrete.

Or are you saying it was a signal of the end for the specific niche geeky crowds? If so then I guess that’s my point. Google Reader doesn’t and never did move the needle that much.
