@djghettoredneck Somehow I find it irrational to react when a company shuts down their product. Especially when it's a company like Google, that has a long history of shutting down popular apps. Google Reader, Google Wave, anyone?
So, the only proper reaction to closure/shutdown is to shut up and move on. If you can't find an alternative, tough luck. Move on, again 🙂 Life is too short to lose sleep over something that was only a *tool* to feed your daily life. Your life should be bigger than that.
