You misspelled "free".

Free in what way? I was under the impression that you were paying with your attention (displayed ads) much in the way that you do with 'free' over-the-air television.

I think it's a nice move by Google. They should ax all products that they are not actively developing like Voice.

I am sorry, but Google+ sharing is not the same reading long-form content from a set of selected sources. Google Reader helps me choose to follow certain good bloggers who posts good content within their website. I don't expect all of them to move to a walled garden called Google+. Even if they do, what is the guarantee that they will not pull the plug on this social network as well, given their past record?

Nobody thought it that way... There are a lot of apps relying on google reader API, and now they have to change. I'm using it since day one.
