I love Google Reader. Today, they’ve added more social features.  (In this post).   It is extremely useful for following blogs and websites without visiting them.  They have recently added the feature to follow others.  It seems that every website these days has to incorporate a social aspect to it.  I wish more people used Google Reader, then this might be useful.  It annoys me how there are so many great services, but people use a little of this and that, and it makes it truly impossible to follow everyone.  I don’t have any friends or family members who use Google Reader like I do.  In fact, if I mentioned Google Reader to many people, they wouldn’t even know what it is.  I think instead of adding more social tools to their services, these services need to advertise and get more people into them.  I would love it if more people used Diigo, Google Reader, Twitter, etc.  But the reality is: most people use the easiest, simplest services if any at all (MySpace, Facebook).  Please, stop with the social features and promote your services out in the real world (buses, newspapers, TV, off the Internet) than maybe there would be someone worth following.

Also Google Reader desperately needs Themes!!!
