The end of Google Reader - A personal post

As some of you are aware much of this blog is a manual process.  I peruse through a ton of other blogs and pick out key information that pertains to our businesses.   The core of this system was Google Reader which aggregates all of the blogs into one spot.  From there I can read and click to have it posted to the Blog.  The blog then formats and sends them to email every night bringing everyone else up to speed.  Google is killing off Reader July 1.  I have been working on a replacement system that is as easy to use.  Currently its not 100% reliable so there might be some ups and downs on the SDP Insider emails over the next week or so.

Google is good at tracking Data and some of the statistics are impressive.  Here are the numbers dating back to when I started this job and began pulling info for the Blog:

From your 45 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 5,804 items,  clicked 76 items, starred 6 items, and emailed 1 items.

Hopefully there is another couple years in the new process.
