via Official Google Reader Blog by Mihai Parparita on February 07, 2008

There's a feed for that?!
via Official Google Reader Blog by Mihai Parparita on January 14, 2008

I was very happy when the team received this email from Gary Patino:I was having a hard time finding the right job here in Houston. Days would go by without talking to a single recruiter.

Reader, Can I Have A Lens With That Please?
via Official Google Reader Blog by Mihai Parparita on May 08, 2008
T.V. Raman and Charles Chen, who have helped out with accessibility in Reader in the past, have not rested on their laurels and have another feature to announce:I've long maintained that CSS is one of the most well-kept (and consequently under-exploited) accessibility secrets of the Web. Thinking back to the time that CSS1 became a W3C Recommendation, those of us who cared deeply about...

photo by groundzero (CC-licensed)Not every Reader release is filled with excitingnewfeatures, but we'd like to think that every little improvement counts. While we've been working on some longer-term things, we've also had time to make some smaller changes to Reader, which we're releasing today:More languages and countries: Reader is now available in Austria, Czech Republic,...

Managing your shared items
via Official Google Reader Blog by Chrix Finne on December 27, 2007
We've gotten a lot of helpful feedback about our new sharing feature. We'd hoped that making it easier to share with the people you chat with often would be useful and interesting, but we underestimated the number of users who were using the Share button to send stories to a limited number of people. We're looking at ways to make sharing more granular and flexible, but in the meantime...
