One Feature Request for New Google Reader
Sunday, July 13th, 2008In the morning of July 12, 2008(Beijing Time), as usual, I launched Google Reader from my Safari’ bookmarks in the iphone and wanna see if anything could interest me a little.
Guess what? I didn see the old and familiar Reader interface. Instead, i saw the New one. Actually i did try it when it’s still beta before. I even bookmarked it, for later use.
The New Reader is cool, in some way. However, there’s one very important feature missing compared to the Old one: mobiled the targeted html pages. Let me remind you of that with the following screenshot.
Why is it such an important feature, anyway? You may wonder. Well, I’ve explained before on this post. And after some googling, I’ve found i’m not the only one.
There’s a post titled See original – mobile vs. full HTML – Please fix created by in the Google Reader Team’s groups, which exactly says the same thing. I already left my agree comment there.
So in all, we’d like to see this cut feature could be able to appear in the New Reader again some time in future.
I have no idea of how Google chooses the features for their product, but I do hear that Google treats user feedback very seriously. Hopefully Google will not let us down this time.
