Ben Darnell posted today on the official Google reader blog announcing the new look of Google Reader. Many new features have been introduced after listening back to feedbacks from users. First of all the Unread counter and mark all as read which will make the naviguation and reading of news more easy. Folder-based navigation makes it easier to organize your subscriptions, and the new expanded view lets you quickly scan over several items at once. And finally a push for sharing with a single click you can share a link for your friends. Maybe this better than the lens used in the old interface ? I think this is a great change in Google Reader interface, and as long it still in the labs it was expected to see big change on the layout and features.
