I don't have this allergic reaction to bad fonts, but I do to JPEG artifacts in images that should've been compressed with GIF or PNG (e.g. ones with lots of text).

Yeah, bookmarklet. I generally have a Brizzly tab open with a ["google reader" OR googlereader] search open.

Since it's been three years since this post (and I just finished the Brendan Eich chapter in Coders at Work), I'm curious how much of this ended up happening. JS2/ES4 obviously didn't, but I wonder about the static analysi, deCOMtamination and moving more code to JS bits (http://blog.mozilla.com/tglek/ seems to have occasional updates on these topics, but it's hard to gauge scope/progress).

Modern pixel art //case: YouTube | Typophile - http://typophile.com/node...
A few attempts at making the (new?) YouTube favicon more legible. I like the use of subpixel anti-aliasing, but there are possible issues with some LCDs having different orderings (also consider iPhone-like screens in landscape and portrait modes). There's an even better revision further down the thread that doesn't use subpixel anti-aliasing at all and looks just as crisp.

I have a window open from before the crash, and it works except I can't add any new followers. I'm not closing that window this gets fixed.

Wallace: Lucky you! :)

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Google Contacts has been disconnected from Google Reader. I've been able to follow several people since this problem started, but their names only show on my contacts page. I do get their updates as new comments in my Google Reader, but I have no name to attach to groups. I can like their shared items, and also comment on their shared items and my 'comments' label turns to bold text whenever someone updates ( including myself ).
- Wallace
Maybe you're right. I can't even get to the people I follow list, since the "You are following..." message is not visible.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
All data about followed and followers has disappeared from Contacts. It was there yesterday so I suspect Wallace is right about the disconnect.

Google Reader seems to be working great for me. If there are any issues with slowness, I had assigned them to our hotel's network. But yes, you can see I am still sharing items.
- Louis Gray
Louis: Many people have reported the issue, so it may be a load distribution problem affecting only some.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
There's a support ticket at JS-Kit Echo that GR shared items are not showing up: http://support.js-kit.com/jskit...

I guess we'll have to wait till it stops working for Louis. Then we'll get a response from the GR team. :)

Lot's of people have been trying to use GR as their new social network... this outage (with silence) does not bode well. I fear we'll lose many we gained. It's one thing to be buggy or lack some functionality, but a different thing all together to lose almost all functionality and not keep your users informed. Have we learned nothing?
- Vince DeGeorge

Oh, except I can add new RSS which goes through because I can access the subscription page.

Hunt, same here. Myrna: did you try using the German version? Worked for me.

Thanks Harrison, the German version seems to work for me! Now maybe I can shut the working window down without fear...oops never mind....I'm stuck with the open window..
- Wallace
Yes, I went through most of everyone's items already. So are we in German from now on lol

Hmm, I continue to have the same problems everyone has mentioned with Reader after almost 24 hours now. The German version will work, but I don't read German. Is there a way around the language barrier?
- John Ladd
John, you don't have to read German really if you know GR. The posts are in English. If you use the German page you will see how familiar it becomes..mostly! :)

What about Jenna. I will message her on fb. She is one of the GR staff.

- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, wonder why its working for some and not for others. Most of the people I follow now are working on the German page.
- Myrna
I've set up a new Google Account ( wallace.lockhart2@gmail.com ) to try and solve this problem on my end. My new profile page ( http://www.google.com/profile... ) is up, and I've imported all my contacts from my old account ( wallace.lockhart@gmail.com ). My followers/followees are viewable now in my GR so far comments are functional. If someone could visit the new profile, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
- Wallace
Thanks, Myrna. I suppose I should have thought of that! Thanks for pointing out that I was missing the obvious. :P
- John Ladd
Wallace, I subbed to your new GR but it is not showing up yet.
- Polly Potter
I got it Polly, thanks! It seems to be working now. I'll leave a comment on your latest shared item.
- Wallace
Now the English version is busted; can still read subs but people I follow is empty. Can see them in the German version.

Jez: Thanks for pointing to the GS ticket. Added myself. Geez, when is this going to be fixed?
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Hey all, I moved from the German page to the French. It's working fine. Do you know how to get there? Think its settings.
- Myrna
Wallace, I still see your old account but I can't comment on your page. I can comment on most others. Does it have anything to do with groups?
- Myrna
Just use http://www.google.fr/reader/ instead of http://www.google.de/reader to move from German to French.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Myrna/Wallace: Think so. Because in order to comment, the user should have added you to a group.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Myrna, I have removed everyone from groups on my old page. I still have links to those contacts in GR, and periodically try to add them. No success yet. This may be link rot. Rapid link rot. Here's my new shared items link; http://www.google.com/reader... Until Google gets this straightened out, I"ll be sharing from one page and pushing feeds out of the other. Oh well, it's free. Thanks for your concern, patience and help folks.
- Wallace
Wallace, can't you just go to the French or German page and continue from there. It's the same and I can comment and like everything.
- Myrna
I tried the German and Polish pages, and both behaved as the English (US) page. But never mind that! I just discovered that I can follow my old tagged feeds that I push out of my old account and continue to post in my new account! That means I don't need two accounts! Woo hoo...!
- Wallace
ENGLISH is working now!!!!
- Myrna
Not for everyone... I'm still down.
- Vince DeGeorge
I'm still down. And out for the night. Got to go to work in the am. I make pasta, so remember, pasta is the new potato....

Wow! Thanks, Myrna. Hope it works soon for everyone else.

All the best, Wallace.

UPDATE FROM GOOGLE: The GR team says "We've rolled out a workaround for this problem, reloading Reader should enable you to see your friends list (and other functionality) correctly again." Everyone, please sign out of Google Reader, restart your browser, login again. It should work. (From GetSatisfaction: http://getsatisfaction.com/google_...)
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Yep, we just rolled out a workaround. If you're still having problems after reloading, please reply in the GetSatisfaction thread.

It worked for me without signing out of google and without reloading. Just changed the settings from French to English.

In case you are wondering what happened, the response is here http://ff.im/7JFoG.
- Chris Myles
Chris, thanks for the update! I wonder if yours was an extra-special case though, since if the specific use case of someone you're following adding their "Like" stream to Google Profile was the issue, then folks like Louis Gray would also have been affected, since he follows the same people and many more (I believe) than all of us who had the problem.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Yeah I'm not sure but I am glad they came back with a response.. I'll be even happier when I can get my comments out to back them up or use externally.

woh. did friend feed just show me a DM tweet to me in my main home view? I can't find it on twitter as public, but it's here in FF as a normal tweet. WTF?
That's odd. You can get DMs from FriendFeed here, but not Tweet DMs. Jenna, you are confusing us all!
- Louis Gray
My bad, missed the 'tweet' part. That is very odd behavior, FF gets a Twitter firehose, but presumably the API shouldn't let that happen.
- LogEx
No guys. this is a twitter direct message. it looks like a regular tweet from Dolapo, but it's in my FF timeline. With no ">>" next to it. I click on "from twitter" on the friendfeed interface and it takes me to a twitter page for that status which doesn't exist. I am so confused.
- Jenna Bilotta
Sounds like Dolapo deleted the tweet? Is it the "Sounds good. Want to just meet at birite?" one on http://friendfeed.com/dolapo (http://ff.im/73yok)?
- Mihai Parparita
yeah, mihai, that's the one.
- Jenna Bilotta
so he did mis-tweet then, and I'm going crazy?
- Jenna Bilotta
I bet he tweeted what was supposed to be a DM and then deleted. FF correctly found the tweet, and Dolapo did not delete it here. Problem solved. Mihai figured it out.

- Rob Schieber
Thank you very much.
- David Faulkner
Does this speed up the transfer? I've noticed the past 2 days have been a little laggy getting here.
- Courtney Engle
So when I using this method try to "send to" Ff - It takes me to FF and just pastes the URL of that feed item into a posting box. Is that proper behavior?
- Matthew DeVries
Yep. Similar to the behavior with other engines. You can then add other rooms etc (something not possible with regular sharing AFAIK)
- Deepak Singh
Wonder if there is a way to get it to open and drop it into the bookmarklet instead of Ff proper.

BTW, FriendFeed (and Tumblr) should now be a built-in option on Send To http://www.google.com/reader...

So what is the code to send it to a particular room? If I wanted it to flow in the public FF I would just click 'share'.

Whoa, sharing to a particular room would be epic :) Would probably have to create a shortcut code for each room instead of multiple rooms...
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Ya, I really just have one group for this - public share or private share among close friends (private FF room). That would also let me DM the link to a FF user if I wanted a *really* private share.

Would also like to know, if there is a way to configure Google reader to send to a certain group in FF?

At the very least, it's always good to know the code.
- Mike Reynolds
tried 'http://friendfeed.com/$userna...', but did not worked out
- Gerald Hildebrandt
AFAIK sending to a Room is a bit painful. I tag the item in GReader. Then subscribe to that tag's RSS in the FreindFeed Room. A little laborious to set up, but quick when sending - you just tag. And wtih GReader's pubsubhubhub they show up in Room immediately.

hi, Mihai! is there a way in Google Reader to find all the items I commented on? a link like for the 'liked' items? I'm thinking a solution would be labeling them, because I want to check later if somebody responded and I don't want to scroll through all the other comments.
- George Moga
There's a link to your liked items at the top of the "Your stuff" page, or you can go directly to http://www.google.com/reader.... Right now there's no easy way to see all items you've commented on though.

that's too bad. labeling doesn't help either, as the comments are not visible in regular label views. thanks for the answer!

"Last Wednesday, Google Reader introduced a flurry of new features that probably won’t affect my usage of Feedly in the future.

She states: "There’s no log-in, pop-up, or anything happening and I don’t know if Google Reader is syncing with my URL shortener of choice (Bit.ly)."

Could you always do this in Google Reader?

Fine tune what items "Mark all as read" affects.
- Benjamin Golub
Certainly not when I was working on it. Jenna? Is this brand new? I like it!
- Kevin Fox
nope, that's new.
- Jordan Brock
I haven't noticed that before.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
I don't have it
- Roshan Vyas
Yup...def. a new one :)
- Ahmed
That's great... hadn't noticed that yet. Edit: I don't seem to have it, even after refresh.

Well played Reader... well played. :)
- Michael Leggett
I never Mark All as Read anyway, so this is not required. :)
- Louis Gray
@Louis imagine leaving your GReader for 4 days and come back with 4000+ new items waiting for you...I check it every hour and I find 100+...read the first 50 and Mark all as read :)

Jenna: serious bug... I marked all items older than two weeks as read, and it did that, but also marked all items newer than 2 weeks as unread!
- Shannon Jiménez
@shannon We just tested this and couldn't replicate it. Could you give some additional detail?
- Jenna Bilotta
Jenna: I selected one of my folders (that contains many feeds) and selected "Mark older than 2 weeks as read." I'm using IE8.
- Shannon Jiménez
I think that's new! I got it as well, good to have.
- Cassidy
@ben cool, thanks! (we'll chat about adding it but in the meantime you can add it as a custom service on the settings page)
- Jenna Bilotta
Jenna: Just for further info-- it does not happen when I select an indivdual feed, only when I select folders.
- Shannon Jiménez
@shannon can't replicate that here. :-/ (looking into it some more)
- Jenna Bilotta
This is new. Good idea though.
- Diego Barros
hey that's NEW!! :)
- Susan Beebe
new
- Shevonne
@Jenna: still having the same problem (tried it in both IE and FF). Also, discovered that it doesn't happen if everything is already marked as read in the folder. It only happens when some things are unread. Edit: based on Joelle's comment below, maybe this happened because I had marked everything as read in that session, not because everything was marked as read...
- Shannon Jiménez
I have just had the same problem as Shannon - was coming here to share the warning - what a horrible horrible bug! (I have 400 feeds). My google reader experience is more and more a love/hate thing (certain things are just a pain when you have 400 feeds) :S Although for me it did it in every feed except the ones that didnt have posts in the last 2 weeks (obviously), including ones that were totally marked as read
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
note: actually i did not mark as read items I had read this very session, but all others
