My theory is that the Senior Vice President for Bad Decisions got lured away from Yahoo to Google

Mein Führer... There are no more shared items.

A reBlog facilitates the process of filtering and republishing relevant content from many RSS feeds. reBloggers subscribe to their favorite feeds, preview the content, and select their favorite posts. These posts are automatically published through their favorite blogging software.

My point in making this plugin is that the share feature should be OPEN and STANDARD. I'm willing to gather a community and define a standard way to share items (anything) via bookmarklet or even a new sharing button in ALL reader apps ! Just like you can tweet any link, you could share any feed item.

RSS Share for Google Plus and Google Reader is an extension that does two things: * Adds a Google Reader section to the Google Plus homepage * Adds a "Share on Google+" button on Google Reader -- This way, whether you mainly use Google Reader or Google Plus you can keep up with current events and webpages and instantly share them if you feel like it.

I built Google Reader's unread count feature. I am the (1000+) #OccupyGoogleReader

As the former lead designer for Google Reader, I offer my services to Google, rejoining for a three month contract in order to restore and enhance the utility of Google Reader, while keeping it in line with Google’s new visual standards requirements. I will put my current projects on hold to ensure that Google Reader keeps its place as the premier news reader, and raises the bar of what a social newsreader can be.

Jason Hsu - What really baffles me is how many users still think the New Design is okay after pointing out all the serious usability problems. Normally as an engineer I wouldn't be arsed to make a visual aid in support of an argument, but I just had to for the atrocities committed upon Reader: (Google New Design = GND = electrical ground = "at zero potential")

Google will continue to support those features in its API even after they disappear from Reader's UI. But at some point (I don't know when yet) they will cease to function, and you'll be unable to share articles in FeedDemon or follow the shared articles of other users. Before that happens, I'll release a new version of FeedDemon that removes those features.

Focus is good, and focus is important, but you shouldn't try to be Steve Jobs unless you're Steve Jobs.

We are witnessing the end of an era of open Internet. Soon we will all be enclosed in circles.

John Montgomery: not being able to share and read shares in a unified manner is a deal breaker. I shared 6-8 items a day and read 20-30 from my friends. Those shares? Gold. Every single one of them. Now it's all gone. These changes destroy the only part of the internet I gave a damn about.

Adding extravagant white space to Google Reader is like adding white space to the phone book.

If you used Reader Share, you're probably in mourning today. No longer can you click the share button at the bottom of a post in your Reader, sending it to a sidebar widget on your blog and popping it into the "people you follow" section of your friends on Reader. No longer can you count on that easy click in Reader to show you the links shared by the people you follow -- those trusted curators of content whose taste and judgment you rely on.

social media outlets [like Twitter and Facebook] are INFO COLANDERS! 5% of your followers will see anything you post, and that's probably only within 20 minutes of posting
