I had at most a dozen of sources I would read on a regular basis. Then somewhere around 2008 I discovered Google Reader: an awesome tool that allowed not only to subscribe to feeds, organize them and read them through a unified interface just like any news aggregator, but more importantly allowed to share news of interest with other people. By following people I knew were interested in topics relevant to me, I would get insights from those topics without the burden of browsing other hundreds of sources by myself. I used Google Reader daily for the last years, sharpening my fields of interest over the time.<\/p>\n<p>Until that fateful day when Reader was shot in the head after <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/Pinboard\/status\/131139094943236097\">someone<\/a> decided Google+ was the way to go. They probably thought people would have no choice but embracing it. I don&#8217;t know how things went after that, but from what I saw most felt less than happy at having it <a href=\"http:\/\/c0de517e.blogspot.com\/2011\/11\/google-reader-share.html\">forced down their throat<\/a>. The user base of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsblur.com\/\">Newsblur<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/newsblur\/status\/128889293388259328\">skyrocketed<\/a>, much expectations were put on <a href=\"http:\/\/hivemined.org\/\">HiveMined<\/a>, but then came the status quo: Newsblur doesn&#8217;t have the social feature yet, and HiveMined is not ready yet either. Meanwhile, some argue <a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/5857566\/most-popular-rss-newsreader-google-reader\">Google Reader is still the best newsreader around<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We Google Reader orphans are looking for a new home to party again, but we all know the community is shattered. What made the strength of Reader was its ubiquity. Many of us wouldn&#8217;t even try Google+, because of the feeling that we were betrayed by Google and that it&#8217;s likely to happen again anytime. And now we are waiting to see where everyone will go.<\/p>\n<p>Until we have that answer, supposing it ever comes, I thought I would give a try at a good old blog. One thing I learned while using Reader is that just gathering things one find of interest can already make an interesting editorial line. So from now on I will use this blog the way I was sharing things, making it a reliable bookmark reference for myself and hopefully an interesting feed for other people. Oh, and I plan to write things too: it will be an opportunity to try myself at publishing in English, since it&#8217;s not my mother tongue. For more autenticity, feel free to read with an outrageous French accent. :)<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a title=\"Stowage platform de Virtual Zavie, sur Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/zavie\/4251067538\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stowage platform\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4051\/4251067538_f918beb41f.jpg\" alt=\"Stowage platform\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stowage platform<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back then I wasn&#8217;t so much of a blog reader.
