Google Reader had a little survey with a “More comments” field at the bottom. Dunno if anybody is actually going to read it, but here’s what I wrote:
- It’s totally bizarre that you have to GTalk chat with somebody to “share” Reader items with them. I mean… I think I see where you were *trying* to go with this, but seeing as how only 10-15% of the people I want to share items with online use GTalk (whereas a much a higher percentage use GMail) it’s kind of a pain.
- So far the “Notes” functionality comes closest to what I *really* want to see in a Google app which is being able to bookmark and tag *any* piece of web content (i.e. a blog post, a website, an image, etc.) and to be able to see the items i’ve tagged from anyplace I’m signed in. I tried using web history & google notebook but for whatever reason they didn’t quite work out how I had hoped. Even just “starring” items in reader might be handy except I can’t just “star” a random web page, only items that appear in Reader. Thanks to the bookmarklet however, I *can* do “share with note” on anything. Of course then I have to uncheck the “share” box if i don’t want to *actually* share it, but whatever. So anyway, what I guess I’m saying here is: “You’re getting closer guys! Keep up the good work!”
- When Facebook imports RSS feeds into their “News Feed” they pull embedded images and body text, but when they import Shared Items from Reader it’s just the titles. Lame… Seems like this is more their problem than yours though.
