you can't be serious... no way to delete "unwanted articles"? How are the Reader's trends generated? Right, when I read an article. And the only way to "delete".. wrong word... to "hide" and article is by reading it?
Maybe I'm stupid, but I thought every normal feed reader has some "delete" button?
I would like to see subfolders added to Google Reader. I think it is a great RSS reader and I love that I can have it ready to go anywhere just be signing into Gmail. The iPhone version rocks.
My suggestion is that you be able to have subfolders for your feeds. For instance I have "News" folder. I would like to be able to add subfolders to that News folder like "Political" "National" "World" "Tech" etc.
It would make it easier to look at all my tech feeds if that's all I wanted to read at the moment and also make it possible to catch up on all my news feeds, regardless of category, if I wanted to by selecting the main "News" folder.
If not building an own reader into Google Chrome. At least the Browser should be able to add the URL to an online Reader (e.g. Google Reader). Today its to complicated to subscribe an RSS-Feed.
I mean, when you open Firefox and go to Tools\Options\Applications, there is a dropdown menu for handling rss feeds that lets you choose which application/web service you want to subscribe feeds with. iGoogle, which is a less obvious solution, is already there.
It would be of great convenience for Firefox users to have Google Reader there. So why not let them add it by providing an option for generating an appropriate xml file to open with Firefox?
I would love to see Google Reader become an optional part of the Google Apps package. For the company, everyone on the domain would be subscribed to certain feeds by default (e.g., company news, etc.). For the individual user, it would be convenient to not have to log on to both Google Apps AND the regular Google account to read both feeds and email.
I think it would be helpful if we could color-code feeds and folders in Google Reader. For example, I could make all feeds inside my Local News folder green, my Facebook feed red, and everything else would stay the default white/blue color. This would help me find what I want now. Obviously everything I keep in Google Reader is important to me, but maybe right now I am just looking for local news. Color-coding seems to be just the thing facilitate this at just a glance.
I get a strange gray box in Google Reader whenever I am using it. I don't know what is causing it, but sometimes I can highlight the text behind it so I can read and it sometimes it scrolls at a different rate than the rest of the window. It looks like it is caused by Java though I could be way off. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.12 on OS X 10.5.2. I took a screenshot of it to show what it looks like and I am wondering if anyone else has run into something similar.
