Google Reader Getting Overhauled, Removing Your Friends

While I'm not entirely thrilled about this change (I prefer theutilitarianlook for the service), I understand Google's need to maintain user interfaceconsistency across its online products.What really bothers me, however, is Google's casual decision to remove all of Google Reader's "social" features, including friending, following and shared link blogs.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/NJ4pTmrEXts/
