It seems like the upgrade fixed issues I was having using Safari3 with Google Reader as well.

Um… what’s up with the multiple copy pasting?

What’s that with multiple linking and repetitions!?
Are you on a BlackBerry?

I’m really really really really happy. :-)
September 6th, 2007 at 11:20 am
My thoughts EXACTLY, Scoble. I could not be happier (though obviously not as CTRL+V happy as you)

Yeah… I saw this earlier this morning and posted a screenshot:

And also earlier this morning the search feature was a little screwy looking on my MacBook Safari.

Scoble, you’re so crazy! Lol!

Last night I was half asleep and wondering how the heck I got from google reader to gmail without meaning to. Where’d this search bar come from? Wait! These aren’t my labels…they’re my tags. Ooooooo.

Scoble,
Switch to Netvibes. They have search for last year or so. Not to mention built-in podcast playback and my favorite local Ajax rendering of the RSS stories and full caching.
Love it when I am traveling

Anyone else notice that in the reading pane you can no longer distinguish between new posts and ones you have already read? The already read ones used to be grayed out…

Hey!
Great news, I really love the new features too :)
I’ve been waiting for Search in the feeds for sooo long, same for the “100+” detail, it’s nice to finally see “969 left” :D.

Looks like Robert is trying to game TechMeme. Doesn’t seem to have worked yet.
September 6th, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Mark: heh. If I really wanted to game Techmeme I’d just get all my friends to link to it. TechMeme’s algorithms don’t rely on repetition, so this is a sad attempt if that was what it is.
September 6th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
Yeah, but…
Why did this take so long? Why wasn’t it in the original version of the darned thing? How do I take a search result and with one click add that blog to my list I want to read all the time? How do I limit the search to recent postings?
I mean, come on. These guys seem more like Microsoft every day:

Sorry, on a bit of a rant today!

@14
Robert, by friends do you mean real friends or your billions of “facebook friends”.
if the former, then 4 links won’t really do. if the latter - are you running some sort of directive cult?

Fantastic news!
Google Reader’s finally usable without Greasemonkey and Firefox. :D I love the “My Subscriptions” button available in reading pane mode.
But, my one gripe: there isn’t a keyboard shortcut to open the little reading pane menu as far as I can see (because, unlike U, it doesn’t resize the reading pane).

What made you choose Google Reader in the first place?
I use Newsgator at the moment. I used to use desktop-based clients, but they took up too much space and for obvious reasons, things like Newsgator Online and Google Reader don’t.

September 7th, 2007 at 7:27 am
Oh, heh, I hadn’t even noticed the search bar. What I’d noticed was that they finally figured out how to count higher than 100.
The only thing I didn’t like about it was that because of the way the URL works, instead of highlighting the address in the toolbar and hitting enter to refresh it to cause it to clear memory once a day, I need to hit F5 instead.
Although who knows? Maybe this version actually won’t be as much of a memory pig.

[...] 1000 item threshold until, in the course of digging through all those items, I found Robert Scoble glowingly thanking Google for the new and improved Google Reader. The big change is the addition of search. I liked [...]

I switched from FeedDemon to google reader after reading your blog a few months ago and it has been a great change and now search is just outstanding!!
Thanks Scoble, I know you have been clamoring for search within reader as have many others but your voice tends to get heard more than us so I’m sure it helped.

Thank you so much for making a word processor that allows me to save in MS word. I just got a new computer and the fucker wont let me send a regular word document as an attachment. The new MS 2007 is too new…my teacher couldn’t open it and I was really flustered…then you saved my ass and I got a 95%…thanks google…I love ‘blackle’ too and google earth :)
