| Why is GReader being castrated? | R.Moore | 11/10/21 7:07 | Dear Google Humans, I respect and admire all of you folks who have constructed/maintained/improved GReader over the years that I have used it. That said I am saddened by the unwillingness to leave a functional beloved service alone, in favor of lump |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | DanBerger69 | 11/10/21 8:16 | Bravo Ramey - I have ties with the Arkansas ShareCircle and have also met so many amazing people on Reader! |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | Bieling3 | 11/10/21 10:19 | Google has just plain dropped the ball on this. Gone the way of MSN Spaces & MySpace. LEAVE THE SOCIAL FUNCTIONS ALONE. Leave note in Reader alone. Restore sharing youtube videos with note in reader. Take Google+ and shove it in your keister. |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | alexneedsbreakfast | 11/10/22 11:50 | Until I see a mockup or preview, I have to assume they'll screw this up. The genesis of Plus was an attempt to clone Facebook mixed with an overreaction to the privacy sh*tstorm of Buzz, which in turn was an attempt to clone Twitter. They have no id |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | Saltaire | 11/10/24 16:30 | All I want is a good newsreader. |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | leftbas | 11/10/24 16:42 | Ok, I'll be the odd man out. I love what Google has done with the interface to Gmail, Calendar, Google Voice, etc. Therefore, I have to assume that the update to Google Reader is going to be just as impressive. Google reader is a good news aggregator |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | colouring | 11/10/25 2:57 | Due to my love of privacy, time, and real-life interacting, I have never been interested in a social network. The social functions of google reader are the utmost of what I want: the ability to share ideas and interests on a very, very limited basis |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | ortron | 11/10/25 9:17 | Hi Google, Changing Reader's sharing approach to Google Plus creates an interface 'impedance mismatch.' Currently, all of a user's interactions with data in Reader—both RSS feeds and shared items—are on a subscription basis, with an inbox-style int |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | Sutasu | 11/10/26 1:21 | Please leave Google Reader alone! We need it as it is! |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | LucasLS | 11/10/28 6:56 | I've just posted a suggestion for the Google developers to help saving Google Reader: please take a look and comment if you agree! |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | thunderpoet | 11/10/31 5:00 | I have NOT used Reader. However, I have seen reports of how ESSENTIAL it is in countries like Iran where censorship has shutdown all the internet social services and they have come to RELY on Google Reader. Has anyone ever considered that in our huge |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | phani414 | 11/10/31 14:12 | I hate the new interface.. in fact now I want to switch to other alternatives... How can Google come up with such a bad interface? |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | alan.rouse | 11/10/31 14:14 | GRRRR......... Now, with no more "Note in Reader" support, we can only discuss content that Google deems worthy of discussion. That's evil. GRRR.... |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | thelordofruin | 11/10/31 14:44 | I also used Note in Reader extensively, instead of using an external bookmarking service. Now Google has kind of screwed me over. :( |

| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | AlanWilliamson | 11/10/31 15:04 | #RIPGoogleReader I knew you so well. You kept me company when i needed it. You kept me amused when i was sad. You kept excited when i was down. But sadly you've gone and made yourself all G+ which means removing all the useful functions and givi |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | TexasLouie | 11/10/31 15:07 | Sigh. Why change a good thing? This is absolutely horrible! I don't use the social functions - just the reader service. It is now officially awful. |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | WildcatRay | 11/10/31 15:10 | To Google: You really do not understand the concept of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Not only was there nothing, I repeat, nothing broken with the Google Reader format, the fact that you do not even give us the choice to stay with the old choos |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | leftbas | 11/10/31 16:04 | Phhht...I love the new layout. It's identical to the old layout, except that it now sports Google's new "theme". I never used the notes function, but I'm glad that the email function is still there. I star articles extensively to read at a later date |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | njd4k | 11/10/31 16:17 | I like the redesign, but the one-way integration with G+ is so stupid! It's like logging into Facebook to share things, then having to go to a separate "facecomment" service to discuss them. |

| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | mbrodrigues | 11/10/31 18:01 | Stupid user interface! Horrible! impossible to use! Please, enable the Classic option, or the product that I loved was unusable. |
| Re: Why is GReader being castrated? | vesta44 | 11/10/31 18:12 | I used Reader because it was the easiest way to keep up with new posts on the 300+ blogs I follow - much easier than checking each blog in a bookmarked folder every day to see if there was a new post. I loved the fact that I could like a post, or sha |
