<p>I&#8217;ve added dozens of friends tonight (thanks everyone, keep them coming) and the problem?</p>
<p>Google Reader now is bringing me TONS of duplicates from people. This clutters my all items feed and keeps me from finding new, original items.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m hiding everyone until further notice so that their feeds don&#8217;t clutter my news reader up.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll let you know when they fix this &#8220;feature&#8221; but it needs to go back to the drawing board.</p>
