The new UI is a step backwards. Why waste all that space with a list of feeds? I don’t care what feeds I’m subscribed to, I care about the headlines. Sure, spiff up the old reader, but don’t just produce another poorly thought out, email-client-ui inspired feed reader. If I wanted that, I wouldn’t have left Bloglines in the first place.

I think the “share” feature is really pretty cool.

I couldn’t disagree more. This UI is clean and usable. 1000% better than the old google reader.

Not me. I’m dumping vibes now.

Feeds may be like subscribing to a mailing list but it isn’t like personal email. One can read feeds and mailing lists in a “river of news” view but you wouldn’t do that with your other email. So maybe that is where the different comes in, rather than between email and feeds.

I disagree - the new UI is completely overwhelming. I feel like I just walked into a used car dealership - you want content?! we got CONTENT! omg stop screaming! The text on the page bleeds together into an alphabet soup - they need clearer visual boundaries on the page elements - I would submit Newshutch as an example of a UI that nails feed presentation.

This looks like a major step forward from where Google Reader was before. It was basically unusable before. Personally, I’m a Bloglines addict and find Google’s moves a step in the right direction, but don’t think this will get me to make the move. I’ll give it a try, since that’s easy enough, but will probably end up sticking with Bloglines.
