3 Google Reader Changes Need Repair Now - Internet - Google - Informationweek
november 2011 by deusx
This is essential. There were several feeds that I subscribed to from individuals that were an absolutely vital part of my informational flow. Now, I no longer have access to those feeds. Instead, Google hopes that I'll watch those same people in Google+ to see what they share publicly. Only these were private feeds meant pretty much only for me. In the 36 hours or so that I've been using the new Reader, I've been unable to access these feeds or find alternatives that are as easy to use.

GeekMom » Blog Archive » Why Curated Content Matters: A Lament for Reader Share
november 2011 by deusx
And that is exactly what’s bugging me about the death of Reader Share. It was an info pantry, not a colander—a place well stocked with nourishing brain food. I followed a number of people who had demonstrated, day after day, a sharp eye for items worth my time. Every time I clicked that “people you follow” link to see what they’d shared, I could count on learning something.

Unoccupy Google Reader | Jack Shafer
november 2011 by deusx
We users had been warned for weeks that a redesign of the popular (and free) RSS reader was in the making, so the appearance of a new version didn’t come as a shock. The only shock was how terrible the new version is. It subverts users’ needs in favor of Google’s. The company wants to fight Facebook with a uniform interface for its free suite of services—which also includes Gmail, Calendar, and Docs—that will encourage sharing of content on its newish social-networking product, Google+. But in making the whole Google product line visually consistent, the company has crippled one of its best offerings.

Google Reader Backlash: A Fuss Over Nothing? - Rebecca J. Rosen - Technology - The Atlantic
november 2011 by deusx
But for people who used Google Reader's sharing features, the upgrade is a big loss, for all intents and purposes ruining that aspect of Reader. The old sharing methods have been totally supplanted with Google+ tools, which, quality aside, are too different to satisfy the same needs. I'm going to dive into the nitty-gritty here, so consider yourself warned.

Google Doesn't Seem to Want to Fix Reader - Rebecca J. Rosen - Technology - The Atlantic
november 2011 by deusx
Even before Google unveiled it's changes to Reader, it did not care what users thought. In the first blog post announcing the changes, Google said, "We recognize, however, that some of you may feel like the product is no longer for you." As a nice gesture, Google gave people tools for transferring their feeds and social data to other RSS aggregators, but the point was clear: You don't have to like what we're about to do.

The shareable social object of subscribe-able items makes Reader’s network unique and the answer to why change is painful for many of its users is because no obvious alternative network exists with exactly that object. The social object of Google+ is…nearly anything and its diffuse model is harder to evaluate or appreciate. The value of a social network seems to map proportionally to the perceived value of its main object. (Examples: sharing best-of-web links on Metafilter or sharing hi-res photos on Flickr or sharing video art on Vimeo or sharing statuses on Twitter/Facebook or sharing questions on Quora.) If you want a community with stronger ties, provide more definition to your social object.

How Google Reader's Overhaul Betrayed and Irked Its Most Passionate Users

Yesterday, I got an email from a good friend with a subject line that needed no further explanation: "Google Reader." It was sent to a group of mutual friends, bemoaning the recent changes to Reader's interface, thereby kicking off a lengthy dis...

Nick Bradbury: Anti-social FeedDemon (Killing Features, Part II)
november 2011 by deusx
Last night the changes to Google Reader went live, and as promised, they've removed the sharing features. This means that the sharing features in FeedDemon which rely on Google Reader will eventually stop working, so I'm forced to remove them.

Occupy Google Reader Takes to the Streets - Forbes
november 2011 by deusx
Okay, so it’s not exactly Occupy Wall Street, and the cause isn’t quite so dire as the recklessness of investment bankers gone wild or the government bailouts, but Google Reader is being cut off at the knees, and a number of its die-hard fans (including a few I know from Google Reader) have taken to the street to protest.

The Sharebro Lexicon - Reader Party -- An Alternate Universe
november 2011 by deusx
One of the fascinating things about Google Reader is how each group of sharebros/Reader Partiers/Gooderioon came up with their own culture within the system, in parallel of and isolation from one another, but fundamentally similar in intent and function.

Occupy Google Reader: Changes to the RSS feed irk the ‘sharebros’ - Arts Post - The Washington Post
november 2011 by deusx
When Google announced last week that Google Reader, an RSS aggregator with social-networking capability, would be rolling its social features into Google+, its disappointed readers felt helpless and disenfranchised against a powerful force.

Occupy Google Reader: A report from the protest's front lines - @TBD Arts | TBD.com
november 2011 by deusx
The skies are threatening as Ryan Ellis briskly walks up I Street NW to join a small group of people who had spent the last half-hour making signs in front of Google's D.C. headquarters. "This is the most loserish protest ever!" he laughs, taking up a sign that read "GOOGLE: DON'T MARK ALL AS READ."

Occupy Google Reader: My God, Google, Why Have You Forsaken Us? | WordStream
november 2011 by deusx
In short: This sucks. Google is trying to force its very loyal Reader user base into using Google+ instead. And I don’t wanna! Google Reader already works for me; it’s not broken. And I’m not the only one who’s pissed. In the Atlantic, Adam Clark Estes notes that “the world is surprisingly angry about the end of Google Reader.” Of course, it’s not the whole world that cares, but primarly the “Sharebros”

Reader redesign: Terrible decision, or worst decision? - >*
november 2011 by deusx
Google released the previously announced set of changes around G+ integration and UI updates today, and boy is it a disaster. Since the general changes were pre-announced last week, most of us were prepared for the letdown, but actually seeing how it works end to end has made several flaws abundantly clear. Let's start with the obvious.
