Hate to invoke "Godwin's law: Reader edition", but it seems a bit bizarre that they didn't integrate a flavor of this G+ comment system into Reader before calling it quits as they seem symbiotic at first glance.
EDIT: Thinking about it some more that would have the potential of turning Reader into a spammer/trolls paradise, so I guess the effectiveness of such a fusion is a bit more nuanced.
- minimaxir 13y agoEven though G+ doesn't allow anonymity, it doesn't mean that comments will be high quality.
- acdha 13y agoIt was obvious that they wanted to kill Reader, as has been confirmed by many of the people who worked on it. The initial Google+ implementation was mediocre and no attempt was made to improve it – there were basic flaws like +1 sharing not working at all on mobile which went unfixed for at least a year.
