Quote, unquote: hazards of living the Google life

"This is the problem of handing over one’s digital life to one company, which can fail or unilaterally kill a service users depend on. Google has the right to kill a shrinking service. But it also has a responsibility to those who depended on it and in this case to the principle of RSS and how it has opened up the web and media."

-- Jeff Jarvis on BuzzMachine, commenting on Google's decision to kill Google Reader, its RSS tool.
