Google Reader--

So it's back to Blogger now that I can't share on Google Reader, and the people I intended to share with don't use G+.

First off... monochrome? Really? What happened to the Google that would run numerous A/B tests for the smallest colour changes? I'll admit that the old way was a bit extreme, but straight up ignoring the user experience isn't any better.

I also don't see how the new Reader in any way provides better integration with Google+, or vice versa. Let's recap: people petition Google to allow sharing items from Google Reader into their G+ stream; Google revamps Reader, taking out the sharing elements, no RSS functionality added to G+; People still cannot post items from their Reader into G+, and now they also can't share, period. GG, Google.

Not a happy camper.
