News Readers for Chromebooks
With Google Reader going, and Google Currents being Android and iOS, what would Google recommend for reading general news on Chromebooks? Flipboard and Apple's Newsstand are also platform restricted and not available on Chromebooks. 
 
It seems to me that Chromebooks need a general purpose news reader just as much as laptops / PCs and mobile phones / tablets. Chromebooks are inherently portable and reading news is an obvious use case when on the move and sitting somewhere like a cafe or on a train.

So apparently we need a cloud based, browser based, general purpose news reader for the Chromebook platform just as much as on the other platforms. And of course, it should be accessible on phones / tablets / Chromebooks / laptops and sync read/unread across all the platforms you access it from.

So if Google don't want to provide it, we'll find it elsewhere.
