Backup of David's Google+ Posts

Reader is in my header in G+... But not in Gmail. And when I am suing Reader there are no + notifications in the header bar. It is very strange, Reader is my second most used Google product (Maybe even first, I get more content in RSS than email. :) ) but it always feels like Google wishes it would just... Go away.

I agree. Do you use Sites? Do you even know a popular use for Sites?

I can't even tell you what Sites is. It's just one of those words that sits at the top of my screen being useless, while things like 'reader' and 'news' which I could click when bored I have to dig for. A quick glance looks to be making a web page, but since everyone who wants one already has one, and I don't, I think it is safe to say I don't need it. :)

For me, I get Reader at the top and Sites under More. Either we are in different test groups, or it tries to make some usage-based guesses.

+Chris Zamara , my experience is like +Jamie Norwood 's. Only Google+ puts "Reader" in the navbar. For Gmail, Calendar, Documents, and Photos, "Sites" gets the one-click access spot in the nav bar.

It's insane. What's "Sites?" This is coming from somebody who uses Google+, Gmail, Calendar and Documents. I've got a Wordpress blog (https://my.dlma.com/), a Tumblog, (http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/dblume), a wiki (http://wiki.dlma.com/), and a Habari blog (http://david.dlma.com/habari/). I even used Google Wave! I love to tinker with web apps. I got so mad at Sites being there, I tried to use it: davidblume

I can't figure it out. It comes across as just awful. I couldn't replace any of my blogs nor my wiki. It has no place. I understood Google Wave better than Sites in today's web ecosystem.

And a week later, not even Google+ puts Reader in the navbar anymore. Google needs to convince us that sites is useful, or move it away.
