Dear Sage,

I'm sorry to tell you … it's over between us.

I've moved on. I'm drinking the Kool-Aid. I'm a Google Reader user now.

You were my first RSS reader, and I'll remember our days fondly. You taught me about the importance of website headlines, and why content should come to me … not the other way around.

But you were almost too easy to use. I could have you open throughout the day and check you constantly. It was a real time suck. How could I ever get anything done if you were constantly teasing me with your new stories?

Google Reader is different. I actually have to go to a page to read stories. And it's made it obvious that I was overloaded with feeds. Believe it or not, I've cut down. I have to, or I'll never keep up.

It's been a difficult transition — I've already failed at it once — but this time it's going to stick. Sage, I'll always remember you as my first RSS reader, but it's time to move on.

Thanks for all the memories.

Your friend,
Jason
