Google Reader was not a creative tool. However it was (before the redesign) the germ of a real social network. It's filed under my mind as "what could have been" rather than some golden age of truth online

I don’t think it was a creative tool, it was part of the toolkit of media. creators. It was not a golden era of truth, it was just harder to manipulate.

To me the significant moment is when the web went from a participatory to a consumer medium, which is also when it grew by a couple of orders of magnitude. The move from laptop to phones was way more significant to creator culture than Google Reader, whose value is symbolic.

Yes the transition from laptop to literally every human beings’ pocket on the planet was the real story here. We will be dealing with the fallout from that for a few more decades.
