John: the number of google reader likes is already integrated in feedly. It shows up in the number next to the Thumbs up and is used by the recommendation engine to filter the posts and show the most relevant ones on the cover, digest and on top of the categories.
What else would you like to see supported (we have some concerns exposing more sharing options because based on the usability tests we have performed, users seem to have a hard time understanding the difference between share, share with comment, tweet and friendfeed and we are concerned that adding an additional option would add to the confusion. We are considering automatically liking entries behind the scene when users share or tweet entries).
Thanks,
Edwin

Inappropriate?Oh nice! That pretty much answers my question.
I can see how all those feature identical share options could create some serious confusion.
I’m continually impressed by Feedly

Inappropriate?I'm confused. When I click on the "thumbs-up," does it mark that entry as shared or liked or both? I'd like to have separate like and share options? Is the number next to the thumbs-up likes or shares? Seems that the comment above says that the number is likes, not shares.
I’m confused

When you click on thumbs up, feedly will share that article in Google Reader. The number next to Thumbs up is a combination of share, like and twitter activity. We will be happy to add a separate option for share and like if there is demand for it. So far the feedback we have been receiving from our users is that the distinction is pretty sophisticated and they are happy with share only as a action and share+like+twitter activity for filtering.

Inappropriate?I personally would love to be able to at times like an item without also sharing it on my google reader share. Currently I'm saving stuff I like, going to google reader and liking them over there and un-saving them.
I’m sad

gbierman: will try to see what we can do. May be offer a keyboard shortcut. This way we do not make the base concept more complex for the majority of the users but super users like yourself can benefit from the like functionality. Will think about it and keep you posted. Are you a keyboard time person?

I do this same thing too.

Inappropriate?I do use the keyboard, also I was thinking... Maybe you could have a 'expert' option in the prefs "enable google like icon", by default it'll be off and things will look and work as they do now. And if enabled would add a fourth little icon along with share/save/read, for those that wouldn't mind a little extra complexity. But, if nothing else a keyboard shortcut would be very nice.
I’m hopeful
