So long, Zombie Google Reader | FeedBlitz - Email Marketing and RSS

So long, Zombie Google Reader | FeedBlitz - Email Marketing and RSS: "Case in point: Google Reader. The product was “killed” by Google in the middle of 2013, and it was no longer available to end users. So it was dead and buried, right?
Wrong. It was a zombie. The back end of Google Reader kept on plugging away, checking feeds, dutifully reporting how many subscribers it was polling on behalf of. Like the Energizer bunny, It kept on going and going and going … until sometime on November 13th, 2014, when some plucky soul at Google finally whacked the Google Reader back end firmly enough in the head to stop it for good."
