Google Reader gets social

Google Reader, already my favorite way to follow news, blogs, medline queries, and more, added new social features that makes sharing feeds much easier, allows for strict control over who can see them, and adds a “likes” feature which shows other readers who like the same things you are reading.

A good review of the new features is here: http://siliconangle.com/ver2/2009/07/16/google-reader-makes-reading-more-social/

Now, with existing features like comments, and notes, Reader becomes an important social networking tool to find like minded people.  It is not more than just a RSS reader, it is evolving into a great social media tool.
