Do you use Google Reader? I’ve been enjoying it’s Shared Items feature for some time now. It enables you to share feed items you find interesting with other users of Google Reader. You can even attach a little note to give some commentary. What I like most about the feature is that I get to see what my friends are reading on blogs I don’t subscribe to. I have discovered several cool blogs this way.
If you use Google Reader and want to jump on the sharing bandwagon, click on Sharing Settings (tiny text, easy to miss) on the left-hand side menu, then click on Change next to “You are currently sharing with (whoever)”. Mine defaulted to “Friends” – I’m not sure where Google gets that subset of contacts. So I changed it to “all chat contacts” and also published my shared items to a web page and feed.
