I like the idea of having some transparency into google reader, its like the last place where good stats aren't readily available, but I am having a hard time understand what I can you use your site for other then, top 10 lists. Is that all its going to be? I signed up created a topic and then didn't get any content on that topic.<p>I use google reader all the time, its my main source of reading news. I have two years worth of shared, and stared, and noted data. Is there anyway for you to look at that and figure out what I am already reading?<p>Does friendfeed aggregate all of google reader, or only the google reader accounts that have been linked to friend feed accounts?

From a design point of view, I would put your two columns inside a fixed with div centered in the page. On my 1920x1080 monitor, there's a huge pile of whitespace between the two. I would replace all the detail with how it works with some actual content. Nobody cares how it works. I look at it for a second and go OK, why wouldn't I just go to alltop? not trying to be critical just my first impression and why I'm not looking at it further.

Is this meant to be used in lieu of a feed reader, or in complement? At some point you should work on nice error pages, by the way: <a href="http://www.socialreader.net/blah/" rel="nofollow">http://www.socialreader.net/blah/</a>
