新华网7月24日电 据Gizmodo报道，关于Google Reader的死，大家都谈的很多了，有人说是因为用户数大幅减少，或类似的原因。但是根据Buzzfeed网站的报道，真正的原因是拉里·佩奇和其他谷歌高管根本就不关心这个产品了，所以Google Reader就被拿下了。
具体地说，佩奇对Google Reader根本不关心，这让有心管理这个项目的工程师望而生畏。简单地说，Google Reader已经不是优先工作了，即便当初Google Reader曾被认为是谷歌最心爱的项目。所以，为什么要花时间弄那个大老板根本不上心的项目呢？它已经不可能给你带来关注和回报了。
安息吧，Google Reader。

The Real Reason Google Killed Reader
Much has been said about the demise of Google Reader and whether a decline in users ultimately killed off the much-loved product. But according to a new report from Buzzfeed, Larry Page and other higher-ups at Google simply didn't care for the product, so it was taken behind the barn.
More specifically, Page's disinterest in the service essentially scared off any engineering leads to take over the reins. It simply was no longer a priority, not that it ever was given Reader's genesis, which started as a pet project. So, why work on something that the big boss doesn't care about? After all, it's not going to get you any attention or awards.
RIP, Google Reader.
