New Google Reader UI and feed7

Google has launched a new UI for Google Reader that also affects some of Readers features. The good news is: it won't affect feed7 - unless you are using the "share" feature as this has been removed from Google Reader.

If you are still using this feature within the app, feed7 won't crash and it won't do any harm. But it will be useless now as Google Reader doesn't support this feature anymore.

We will remove the possibility to share items over Google Reader with our next (bigger) update that most likely will see the light of day in December.

Google promotes to use Google+ and it's +1 feature to share articles with friends now but it's rather unlikely we will support this in feed7, at least in the near future. It of course also depends on your feedback if you need this feature integrated in feed7, so let us know what you think.

Besides that, we will have another small bugfix update on Marketplace this week that fixes issues with sharing items over Instapaper and Read It Later. No new features will be introduced with this update and it is not related to the changes in Google Reader.
