This means if the company goes out of business, or decides to change direction, you could find yourself in the same boat as you did with Google Reader. This means that they have the same weakness that Google Reader had: your reading is under the control of another entity. Unfortunately, many of the replacements suffer from several deficiencies: The recently announced end-of-life for Google Reader has brought about many articles in the press listing replacements.
