There were several feeds that I subscribed to from individuals that were an absolutely vital part of my informational flow. Now, I no longer have access to those feeds. Instead, Google hopes that I'll watch those same people in Google+ to see what they share publicly. Only these were private feeds meant pretty much only for me. In the 36 hours or so that I've been using the new Reader, I've been unable to access these feeds or find alternatives that are as easy to use.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #feeds #fuckthecloud #news #occupygooglereader #rss</p> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:41:35 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19437 feeds fuckthecloud news occupygooglereader rss http://www.geekmom.com/2011/11/why-curated-content-matters-a-lament-for-reader-share And that is exactly what’s bugging me about the death of Reader Share. It was an info pantry, not a colander—a place well stocked with nourishing brain food. I followed a number of people who had demonstrated, day after day, a sharp eye for items worth my time. Every time I clicked that “people you follow” link to see what they’d shared, I could count on learning something.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #feeds #fuckthecloud #news #occupygooglereader #rss</p> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:41:10 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19436 feeds fuckthecloud news occupygooglereader rss http://blogs.reuters.com/jackshafer/2011/11/03/unoccupy-google-reader We users had been warned for weeks that a redesign of the popular (and free) RSS reader was in the making, so the appearance of a new version didn’t come as a shock. The only shock was how terrible the new version is. It subverts users’ needs in favor of Google’s. The company wants to fight Facebook with a uniform interface for its free suite of services—which also includes Gmail, Calendar, and Docs—that will encourage sharing of content on its newish social-networking product, Google+. But in making the whole Google product line visually consistent, the company has crippled one of its best offerings.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #feeds #fuckthecloud #news #occupygooglereader #rss</p> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:40:37 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19435 feeds fuckthecloud news occupygooglereader rss http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/google-reader-backlash-a-fuss-over-nothing/247707 But for people who used Google Reader's sharing features, the upgrade is a big loss, for all intents and purposes ruining that aspect of Reader. The old sharing methods have been totally supplanted with Google+ tools, which, quality aside, are too different to satisfy the same needs. I'm going to dive into the nitty-gritty here, so consider yourself warned.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #feeds #fuckthecloud #news #occupygooglereader #rss</p> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:39:31 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19434 feeds fuckthecloud news occupygooglereader rss http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/google-doesnt-want-to-fix-reader/247858 Even before Google unveiled it's changes to Reader, it did not care what users thought. In the first blog post announcing the changes, Google said, "We recognize, however, that some of you may feel like the product is no longer for you." As a nice gesture, Google gave people tools for transferring their feeds and social data to other RSS aggregators, but the point was clear: You don't have to like what we're about to do.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #feeds #fuckthecloud #news #occupygooglereader #rss</p> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:36:43 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19433 feeds fuckthecloud news occupygooglereader rss http://massless.org/?p=174 The shareable social object of subscribe-able items makes Reader’s network unique and the answer to why change is painful for many of its users is because no obvious alternative network exists with exactly that object. The social object of Google+ is…nearly anything and its diffuse model is harder to evaluate or appreciate. The value of a social network seems to map proportionally to the perceived value of its main object. (Examples: sharing best-of-web links on Metafilter or sharing hi-res photos on Flickr or sharing video art on Vimeo or sharing statuses on Twitter/Facebook or sharing questions on Quora.) If you want a community with stronger ties, provide more definition to your social object.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #feeds #fuckthecloud #google #occupygooglereader #reader #rss</p> Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:04:25 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19373 feeds fuckthecloud google occupygooglereader reader rss http://groups.google.com/group/pinboard-dev/browse_thread/thread/1242eb161165d8c2 I've ditched Google Reader, but this is still worth knowing<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #fuckthecloud #google #occupygooglereader #reader #sharing #via:maciej</p> Thu, 03 Nov 2011 04:24:59 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19362 fuckthecloud google occupygooglereader reader sharing via:maciej http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/how_google_readers_overhaul_betrayed_and_irked_its.php Yesterday, I got an email from a good friend with a subject line that needed no further explanation: "Google Reader."
