It seems I’m not alone in finding that scrolling through my Google Reader feeds is causing me to get redirected to Google.com spreadsheets and documents.
The cause appears to be the blog of Google anti-spam expert and popular blogger Matt Cutts.
His site is currently doing the same redirect – and it appears that when that particular feed loads in Google Reader it has the same effect, because it happens when I view all unread items, for example, but not if I’m just looking at the Google Reader homepage which doesn’t feature his post!
This is obviously just an inconvenient one-off which I’m sure Matt will fix, but more worringly, it does point to a way someone could redirect any site with a decent number of subscribers to any site in this way. Hopefully it’ll be patched soon to avoid any website redirects causing this problem when it’s actually the RSS feed being supplied.
How to solve the problem:
If you subscribe to Matt’s blog, as soon as Google Reader loads, go straight to the settings page and unsubscribe from his site. That will let Google Reader work as normal. You might want to follow @mattcutts on Twitter to be alerted to re-subscribe when he’s fixed it!
Update: Matt appears to have fixed his redirect problemon the blog itself, but obviously the archived post still screws up Google Reader, and there’s no word on whether it might lead to a change in Google Reader itself…
