In in the beginning of 2010, Google Reader started permitting users to track any web page via Google Reader.
Last week (Sep 22, 2010), Google Reader declared they are taking off the feature as of September 30th. All those pages you set up for tracking, might gone! You have to switch them over to a new tracking program.
Google Said:
As of September 30th, we’ll be turning off track changes in Reader. While this isn’t a widely used feature, we wanted to let you know in advance so you can set up a suitable alternative (such as http://page2rss.com). Your previous updates will not go away, but you will stop receiving new updates from any custom feeds you have set up.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes -- and as always, please feel free to visit our help forum if you have any questions.
Start using page2rss.com, if you are not using it before. You have to set up everything you set up in Google Reader to work with page2rss.com.
SEroundtable.com Says: It would be useful if Google provided an export of just the page tracking pages you set up as an export. But no, you have to export everything and weed out what is RSS and what is not.
A serious inconvenience for many users of Google Reader.
