# Google Feed Reader: YUCK!

Ok, I thought I was missing something about the [Google Feed Reader](http://reader.google.com/). I thought it was clumsy and flashy and mostly usefless for the way I read blogs.
Chris Selland makes me feel less alone. [[here](http://reservoirpartners.typepad.com/reservoir_partners_enterp/2005/10/newsgator_over_.html)]
Paul Kedrosky is not amused. [[here](http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/001853.html)]
Brad Hill says interesting, but call me when you're ready. [[here](http://rss.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000663062331/)]
Bud at The Community Engine says that it is not user-friendly. [[here](http://thecommunityengine.com/home/archives/2005/10/google_reader_i.html)]
Sean Coon: flashy AJAX + proprietary sandbox == Google wants to own your experience. [[here](http://www.seancoon.org/2005/10/google_reader_o.html)]
