Reactions to Google Reader’s semi-new features
Elise Ackerman’s article entitled: “Change to Google Reader annoys some users: New feature sends shared items to Google Talk network” reports that the new reports on the feedback to the new feature. And the result were not positive. Check the article out at San Jose Mercury News. You have to register and look for the article, but it is an interesting read.
In the article it is mentioned that Robert Scoble said that although the new feature requires more user control users should be reminded the when a company, in this case Google, says public it does mean that.
Now, I have been a Google Reader for a long time and when I saw this feature I said aloud You have to be joking! And then I just did not activate it. Actually its not just one feature but two: Shared Items and Friends. So my Shared Items features remain inactive while I found my Friends feature activated. I might have activated by accident. Still, my feeds are safe from prying eyes.
