Google Reader - Shared Items
In my never-ending search for the perfect RSS/Atom reader and/or aggregator, I have been testing the web based one offered by ‘Google‘ known as ‘Google Reader‘, and to be be honest I’m very impressed.
Apart from being browser based, it is similar to many of the other RSS readers out there, but there are some unusual, but useful things that ‘Google Reader‘ does that I don’t think any of the others offer.
One of the great features is the ability to ‘share‘ items that you have received, and think may be of interest to like-minded individuals. So, I have started sharing interesting posts from blogs that I subscribe to here: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/01333213474642457866
You can even get it as a RSS/Atom feed via this link: http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/01333213474642457866/state/com.google/broadcast.
‘Google Reader‘ works well in Internet Explorer, but also works in Firefox too.
If you are also using ‘Google Reader‘, and have a share, then let me know and I’ll take a look. Also, let me know what you think of ‘Google Reader‘, if you use it.
Just for interest, here are just some of the other RSS/Atom readers and/or aggregators I’ve used so far [in no particular order]::
- Awasu
- Firefox, Live bookmarks, Sage and various other plug-ins/add-ons
- RSS Bandit
- Greatnews
- KlipFolio
- Newzie
- Omea reader
- Opera
- SharpReader
If you are also using ‘Google Reader‘, and have a share, then let me know and I’ll take a look. Also, let me know what you think of ‘Google Reader‘, if you use it.
