Is Sharing/Commenting Back?

[decktrio]

I don't have the plug-in installed in Chrome, yet when I'm on Google
Reader in Chrome, I see a section in the left hand sidebar called
"People You Follow". There's also a "sharing settings page".

Has that always been there? Is it new? What does this mean for us?

You may have activated Ridllr at some point. That and Sharebro both
resubscribe you to your friends' old feeds, though in slightly
different ways and slightly different feeds. We still haven't really
figured it all out yet. Ridllr puts them in a folder called "People
you follow" and Sharebro puts them in one called "Shares."

Where is this "sharing settings page"? Got a screenshot?

I tweeted you the screenshot, but just in case, here it is again:

This is either an effect of Riddlr that I never noticed/payed
attention to before (?), or I inadvertently joined G+, and this is
effect of joining. All the sharing settings revolve around G+, so
that's why I'm inclined to believe it's the latter. In either case, my
eyes were just recently drawn to that area of my screen.

Weird. I certainly don't see that, and I'm on Plus.

Are you sure there's no other plugin you installed? Ridllr doesn't have any client-side component except for its Send To item.

Google sometimes rolls out features to some users and not others based randomly on what server they get or whatever. I wonder...

Can you screenshot the sharing settings?

Also, it looks like you're not following anyone. What does http://sharebro.org/sharebros say about that? It reads your google account info.

Actually, my very first idea was too just unhide the friend feature.

it is still there, only hidden.

I didn't because if you can get the friend list back by unhiding, they totally deleted the share button, no luck there. So i made a plugin.

Holy moley! You're right, it's right there! And it works (i.e. it's
not empty and shows the shared items of my followees)!

WTH

I will now go write a bookmarklet that unhides it so everyone can see
what we're talking about.

WTF

very interesting though, when I click the restored link, it jumps down the restored feeds from sharebro
