I don't want to use Google Plus. I don't like Google Plus. Where are the privacy settings on Google Plus?
I just want to share blog posts in Reader with a small group of people.
In your effort to compete with lose to Facebook with social media, you have now made this extremely complicated.
Well done.
It sounds like you want to do... exactly what Google Plus was designed for you to do?
Sharing is opt-in on Google Plus, not opt-out. There's no public wall for everyone to see and post on--you have to manually select which people you want to share an item with each time. You can group them into "Circles" for convenience.
(I'm not shilling for Google+, I haven't used it in months myself. And I have no idea how Reader integrates with it, *and* it is of course annoying when you're shoehorned into using something you're not interested in. But it sounds like you complained about the one thing Google Plus is specifically designed for--sharing with small groups of people.)
Basically until today, I could tag, share and comment on blog posts directly in Reader.
Now I have to use a separate product to do what I could previously do in one.
It makes zero sense.
Google is intentionally making its user experience worse b/c they want to shove g+ down their users throats.
