If there is any tab in my firefox browser that is always open, its that of Google Reader not GMail.
We have seen people alter GMail’s look with the release of its themes feature a couple of weeks ago. So did Google Maps, with some major changes in its look and user interaction but Reader looked the same since its inception.
Yesterday, the Google Reader Team announced on its Official Blog a new look for Reader with some noteworthy improvements which now make it even more user-friendly and appealing.
Following are the changes reported on its blog:
  • Updated look and feel
  • Collapsible navigation
  • Friends get promoted
  • Hide unread counts
  • More feed bundles
Along with the changes, some things have been moved:
  • “Refresh” button is now in the Subscriptions options menu
  • “Show all – updated” controls also moved into the Subscriptions options menu
  • The “Add subscription” button has been moved to the top of the navigation pane
Visit the original blog post – Square is the new round for more details on the changes
