Bear in mind that you can now post notes (without sharing) to your shared feed/page which means Google Reader has taken a huge step towards what I've been calling Google ReWriter for more than a year. Now it's encroaching on Blogger's territory and will eventually assimilate that tool. No need for separate web/feed reading and publishing tools when you can do it all with a single web annotation suite - Google ReWriter.

I've had the same complaint. I still think Reader has a better UI than FriendFeed though. BTW, Robert, I agree it’s a headache to get duplicate shared items. I’ve had the same complaint.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't use my keyboard to go from feed item to feed item, I can't hit "shift-s" to share, I can't star items to view later. I love the ability to comment, especially as a blogger - would love to see a Wordpress plugin that integrates with this and the comments on my blog (need to check the FF UI - maybe I'll create on). Also, would love to see FriendFeed get in with the Firefox 3 beta to have FriendFeed as an option when I add something to my RSS Reader - they do both have the initials, "FF", after all. If FriendFeed can get over these issues I'll make the switch, but I simply can't use FriendFeed like I can Google Reader right now, so despite the quirks, I welcome additions like this, hoping Google will improve on the weaknesses.
