When things stop

I had thought that I had all of July to sort out my google reader account. I was wrong. Google reader shuts down on the 1st of July, just over a month away! The realisation only came yesterday. So what should I do? Procrastination hasn’t helped at all, but thankfully feedly have a solution, and not only a solution but one that works with one of my favourite solutions IFTTT. Problem solved.

But it makes me think. We (I) depend on services like google reader, and of course these services won’t go on for ever, companies start things and stop things and when they do you have to use something else of find a different way of doing the things you need to get done. I’m sure at some point feedly will do something different or IFTTT will stop connecting things.

It’s the way of things I guess that’s all, but it does make life inconvenient at times.
