It's a web based subscription rss feed reader. I noticed Google have done no updates to it in the last few months. I have dozens of feeds and folders set up in it for daily updates. Though I have been using the slicker looking Pulse app reader lately, and I think there are other feature rich reader apps about.

There's a fair bit of it ;)

Sort of makes sense (to Google) to merge reader to get more interaction on Google+. But many rss subcribers may not actually read their feeds/updates and possibly have no real reason to share/partcipate on Google+. Unless if a new online brand or business for social promotion, audience prospecting or shareabilty.
