I was not planning on posting about this, but since I still catch myself going to google reader to see social shares I figured I might as well memorialize it on my blog.
On October 31, 2011 Google Reader effectively died. By stripping away the social features, google reader is little more than an average RSS feed aggregation. To read the full blasphemous press release check out the following:

agreed fully. I could see rolling sharing into G+ optionally but keeping sharing tools still within reader. G+ is blocked at work and the ‘share’ bookmarklet is gone so google killed it. Awful change they should be ashamed.
