Summary

If Google Reader wants to be the new FriendFeed, this is what I need: (in no particular order)

1. Lists - I want to group my contacts in a better way, like FF.
2. Saved searches - I want to search just my comments, my likes etc. etc.
3. Real Time, enough said.
4. A better bookmarklet, like FF's where I can post pictures for an example.
5. The ability to post by email.
6. An easy way to find new users to follow.
7. More open, so I can search for what EVERYONE is sharing, not only my contacts.
8. A much better UI.

There's probably some more, but these are some changes I would like to see before I can move all my activity from FriendFeed to Google Reader.

#1 Lists - you can already do this with folders. Just like any other feed, you can add a contact's shared items to a folder (or multiple folders). It will then show in "People you follow" and in the folder. (BTW add me to a group so I can comment directly instead of sharing it again)
