Google RSS reader answers questions

Before 12/14, Google Reader already had a "sharing" feature, which allows you to share posts with people that you had explicitly identified as friends you wanted to share with. After 12/14, Google took everything you've ever "shared" and started broadcasting that info to everyone in your Google Talk contact list. This is the new default setting. If you don't like it, the burden is on YOU to navigate through the settings to opt out of this new feature.
