Google reader does sharing!

OK this is a feature I just found out about (I know, I know…I’m behind the times), but Google Reader, which I currently use for my RSS addiction, allows me to tag any items I want and “share” them.

This is really cool, because it’s like del.icio.us for feed items, and it’s damn painless.

I have a little widget I’ve added to my sidebar that shows my latest five shares. I hope that I remember to use the function enough to make it worthwhile ;)

It’s good because it’s like recommending some reading without having to either leave my feedreader for del.icio.us or make a separate post about something.

These shared items are then aggregated into my shared page and it has it’s own RSS feed. So if you like to see what I like, add the feed.

And if you want me to see what you like, send me an e-mail and I’ll add your feed. This is exciting.
