Google Reader Share With Friends Feature Causes Privacy Concerns
Google Reader shares private data, ruins Christmas from Felipe Hoffa has a detailed run down of the user complaints with Google Reader's new share with friends feature.
Felipe writes, "One week ago Google Reader's team decided to begin showing your private data to all your GMail contacts. No need to opt-in, no way to opt-out. Complaints haven't been answered." Yes, it was a bit shocking to see that my feeds were shared with my Gmail contacts by default. I did not opt in to allow my friends to see my feeds, Google did that for me. But is there a way to opt out?
