Google Reader Enables Interaction

I’ve been looking through my feeds in Google Reader when I noticed that my previously shared items have “Shared by: you” next to them. Well, it appears that this is the sign of what has just been announced on Google’s official blog:

…starting today, your friends will be able to reply to shared items with comments, allowing you to have conversations with your friends right inside Reader. Comments can only be seen by friends of the person who originally shared the item.

So there you have it – whether or not Google is going to buy Twitter, it surely adds more and more social elements to its own products.
