Thanks, Devin. Is flagging them something that regular users can do? (i.e. can I do so if I come across the situation again in the future instead of bugging you?)

A comment on the problem "followers can only add comments to a commented item." in Google Reader:

Heh. Great. Did you know that another current bug is that whenever you add a follower in Reader it creates duplicate contacts? I have hundreds of those orphan unnamed contacts floating around. – Chuck Falzone, on November 06, 2009 22:32

Chuck Falzone reported a problem in Google Reader on October 26, 2009 18:37:

Can't comment on shared items unless the person who shared it comments first.

Quite a few people are reporting an issue with commenting in Reader. It appears that we cannot comment on items unless the person who originally shared it comments first.

It seems that this arose around the same time as the Explore/sort by magic features were rolled out. Not totally sure about that, though.

Here's a public shared item about it:

(Within Reader, there are more than a dozen comments corroborating the issue and providing more information.)

Can you check it out?

Thanks,

At least Gmail messages, tho being able to archive tweets is an interesting idea, too.

+1 for bulk archive. Label support would be nice, too.

Show what I'm replying to while I'm typing a reply

When I'm replying to an email, I'd really like to see the text of the email I'm replying to. Especially with longer emails, I'll want to refer to the text to address various points...

OAuth for Gmail and Twitter?

Are you working on implementing OAuth for Gmail and Twitter? I was not thrilled about giving you all my passwords, especially the Gmail one.

Chuck Falzone replied on September 17, 2009 16:14 to the problem "People added to groups to allow commenting in Google Reader, do not always remain in groups..." in Google Reader:

Okay, so using the "add to group" link now works, and everyone I'm following is "sticking" in my sharing group, both in Contacts and in Reader. In Contacts, both the email address listing and the profile url listing show up as in the sharing group.

Oddly, adding all these folks I'm following to groups increased the number of folks following me by a couple dozen. Do they only count as following me if I've put them in a group? That seems odd, but not that big a deal.

I'd say this Nearly solves the issue. What remains somewhat annoying is dozens of "(Unnamed Contact)"'s in Contacts. Ignorable for the most part, but they do clutter up my mobile contacts list (I use an Android phone that's synced with my Google Contacts).

Is it safe to simple delete all the Unnamed Contacts in Contacts, or will that mess something up in Reader?

A comment on the problem "People added to groups to allow commenting in Google Reader, do not always remain in groups..." in Google Reader:

It looks like if I go into the list of people I'm following (or that are following me) in Reader and click on "add to group," they now stay in the group.

If that persists, the solution is as simple as re-adding each contact to a sharing group. Not as simple as a "resync contacts" button, but much simpler than manually de-duping in GContacts.

The big pile of Unnamed Contacts remains in Contacts, but perhaps those can just be deleted? – Chuck Falzone, on September 16, 2009 18:52

Thanks for the work on this, Mihai. I'll keep an eye on how things are working going forward.

Bob, I think the answer is in Jez Arnold's comment above: "If you look at the bottom of your GC you will have lots of 'unnamed contacts' with a link to a google profile. This profile is a number only, but if you cut n paste, it takes you to a name. Simply edit the name, merge the two if they are already in GC, then check the groups. It works...... bit of a balls ache but it works. Also, this is a bit cumbersome for the +100 people"

More info: a new person started following me today. I added him to the group I'm sharing with and followed him back. He seems to have "stuck" in the contact group, so that seems to be improvement!

In GContacts, he has an email-address-only contact card. Not sure if he also has a profile-URL-only contact card; I didn't have the patience to check through all of them.
