which is how google really screwed up. They had a dedicated user base with google reader, they should have viewed it as simply a user interface on top of google+. i.e. one user interface on google+ would have been the facebook type clone, another could have been google reader. Instead they killed reader to try and force people into the facebook clone and failed. Google+, for the users who wanted a facebook like experience, would have been much more valuable with google reader users injecting content into it.
