Dear Google Reader users :)

Dear GR users,

There are two interesting documents I let my self to recommend you here if you encounter problems:
1.Google Reader Feature Request: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Ac6tFcdqBeW3ZGc5YzZrY2JfNTU1ZjZtYmZwZ24&hl=en_GB
2. Google Reader FAQhttp://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVG9onQVIoXjZHhjcWZ4eF82OWNqNjd3emM3&hl=en_GB

Feel free to add to those documents.

If you have problems with Comments try to first read this:http://polnor.net/minds/2009/08/commenting-in-google-reader/ and if this does not help: Clean your Contacts in Gmail – system is still new and sometimes you will have additional entries on your Contact list (which you can merge with the contact or delete). You have to also add manually name field – it does not ‘pull’ names yet.
And last but not least – not everybody enable comments or even follow back here because it can create issues for your security/privacy -> if you follow a person and enable comments this person can see your Gmail address which makes it potentially easy to:
1. Spam you,
2. ‘Crack’ your account.

With kind regards,

Hanna (aka ‘tamihania’)

PS. On a lighter note – Google Reader with Comments is a wonderful system, different from other social tools but the tool which can empower your research, interesting discussions, discovery and collaboration with other people. It is still very new but develops quickly. And it is very flexible. I, for one, like it and will use it. I am looking forward to meet you there :)
