there’s no feature to share things with only a certain group or with certain people from my contacts list… it is really stupid.
these guys lack imagination. that’s what.

@Dom: Sorry about that. Can you send me a screenshot? It works fine for me. That said, I’m really not a designer so I won’t be surprised if something is broken. What browser/OS are you on — that’ll help me fix the problem. Thanks!

I hate google reader, when my feeds update, sometimes I can read the new entries and sometimes Google reader just says there are no new entries. It sucks. BTW, this comment text area kind of blows too, I’m currently typing way off of the screen..

Google reader sucks! It’s lacking many features. One of the most annoying thing is, if I want to unshow a post, I have to move back to to the title of the post and click it. But, I use it :( Don’t have the time to look for better online feed readers. I love Sage (FFox plugin), but it’s just off-line.

*@adnan*: Well, in this case (AND in most such cases), they ARE actually exactly the same (you can verify their IP addresses).

Also, its common to have the ‘www.’ prefix point to the base domain name (see http://no-www.org/ for more information). However, a sub-domain such as bollywood.indiatogether.org is a different case — sub domains can resolve to different IP addresses and certainly different content.

In either case, with the amount of data Google has, it should be trivial for them to figure out which feeds are duplicate, regardless of their URLs.

Well, technically indiatogether.org and http://www.indiatogether.org could point to different websites (or IP addresses).

And even if they resolved to the same IP, it’s possible that they might return different content.

For Google Reader it’s similar to the difference between indiatogether.org and bollywood.indiatogether.org

Of course Google Reader could be more user friendly and just detect that they’re the same. :)
