Google announced in its blog that it will be releasing a bunch of new changes in its Google Reader product.

"First, we’re going to introduce a brand new design (like many of Google’s other products) that we hope you love. Second, we’re going to bring Reader and Google+ closer together, so you can share the best of your feeds with just the right circles.

As a result of these changes, we also think it's important to clean things up a bit. Many of Reader's social features will soon be available via Google+, so in a week's time we'll be retiring things like friending, following and shared link blogs inside of Reader."

This is yet another site where G+ is getting more and more attention, making it a pretty important item in your SEO basket! You can hook up with a reader account at http://www.google.com/reader
