Austin FraktFrom the Google Reader blog (via Erik Kain):
In the next week, we’ll be making some highly requested changes to Google Reader. First, we’re going to introduce a brand new design (like many of Google’s other products) that we hope you love. Second, we’re going to bring Reader and Google+ closer together, so you can share the best of your feeds with just the right circles.
As a result of these changes, we also think it’s important to clean things up a bit. Many of Reader’s social features will soon be available via Google+, so in a week’s time we’ll be retiring things like friending, following and shared link blogs inside of Reader.
I don’t know about you, but I think Google Reader is among the best and most important pieces of technology in my life. I’d give up my microwave way before my Reader. I’m also not so fond of G+.
So, I will be entering next week with some trepidation. I’m a big fan of Google and its products, in general. (Love the Droid. Love the Gmail. Etc.) However, today, I’ve never been more frightened of the company. I sure hope they don’t blow this one!

I too am quite apprehensive about these changes… crossing my fingers for the best.
