While browsing around this afternoon using the (usually) awesome Google Reader, I saw a sudden change in my entire look and feel. Apparently Google decided to punch out an update to Reader while i was using it. No notification, no information about it, just "oh, by the way, here's a redesign of your page layout."
Fortunately, the reader blog has a handy link to their "news" blog - that should have some information on what just happened...
Guess not. (for those perusing this later, the first article on that page is currently 'READ WRITE DRINK", or this article here. Nothing about an update, no news about changes to the site. Guess we're on our own.
A mark against cloud computing, and a mark for locally installed apps.
Look for "what we did on our winter break" for the changes to Google Reader.
They're on twitter too. :D
