One was made up for Google Reader and the other is not widely used, meaning there isn't much software out there that can read your exported data. There are two options for exporting your old sharing items, a JSON Activity Stream or a custom Google Reader JSON format. There is an option to export your shared and liked items, along with a list of friends and followers, on Google Reader's settings page, but it comes with a big catch – the export format. Also gone is the list of all the items you ever shared or liked via Google Reader. That data – your list of friends and followers – is simply gone.

To make matters worse Google does not offer an easy way to migrate your data over to Google Plus. If you were a heavy user of Google Reader's sharing capabilities, using it, for example, to follow friends and comment on their shared items, the revamped design is going to make you unhappy.
