I used to click “Share” on Google Reader quite regularly. I occasionally did “Share with note”. Google’s killed this feature, focusing on loading a +1 button in the iOS\/mobile interface (\/reader\/i). If you use the regular view (\/reader\/view), you have the option of +1 or a g+ Share.<\/p>\n
The +1 just does just that. It says I +1 it. I like it. I endorse it. The g+ Share is like the old “Share with note”.<\/p>\n
I do most of my RSS reading on a host of mobiles (iPhone, Android devices, Nokia N9) and my tablet (an iPad). The default view is this one<\/a>. The iOS\/touch interface. I usually use a 3G connection, and sometimes its not so hot. The +1 button is a graphic that has to load. And it occasionally pops up a new window, loads something in Plus, then comes back to the reader. It just breaks my flow.<\/p>\n So I’ve stopped sharing on Google Reader. It takes too much work to use +1. It is not seamless. It is not integrated. It just seems like an afterthought of “oh shit, we need to make Reader more social; lets tack on the +1 button”.<\/p>\n Google Reader is a great service. Its free. It solves my problem of reading on multiple devices because it is a “one synced RSS feed” (because it is online). I used to use desktop RSS readers on Linux and Mac OSX, but I’ve pretty much just focused on Google Reader for the last few years. I even had a great list of shared items<\/a>. Now I just star items if I want to come back to it later…<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I used to click “Share” on Google Reader quite regularly.
