Readers abandon Facebook Social Readers
“The Washington Post seems to have worn its readers out” with its Social Reader. “They’re annoyed, and they’re quitting in droves.” The Guardian, too, has seen readers flee.
BuzzFeed’s John Herrman writes:
Social Readers always seemed a little too share-y, even for Facebook; they felt more like the kind of cold, descriptive, invisible and yet mandatory services we’re used to seeing from Google rather than genuinely new and useful tools for spreading information.
