People forget about the social element of Google Reader. It never took off - the ability to follow your friends and see what they are reading - to share articles with contacts etc.
I'd have liked more leveraging of the social graph with that app - they missed an opportunity
- alxndr 13y agoI believe that's a central feature of NewsBlur now. I use InoReader primarily because it de-emphasizes the social element; it's something I don't feel the need to use. It does still have an option to view "trending" content across (presumably) all users' subscriptions, it's just not in your face if you don't want it.
