Google has a long history of failed social media attempts, including Orkut, Buzz, and Google Plus. Orkut was notably successful in Brazil before being shut down, while Google Plus failed to gain traction against Facebook. The hosts suggest that Google could regain public favor and damage its competitors by bringing back Google Reader and fully supporting RSS, which would empower independent bloggers and podcasters.
