Sharing via Google Reader
When I first started utilizing RSS feeds, I primarily used NetNewsWire for Mac. Then, I gave Safari’s built in aggregator a shot and used that for awhile. I eventually decided that accessing my feeds from anywhere with Internet access was important to me, so I switched over to Bloglines. That worked out for awhile, but recently I gave Google Reader a shot and I’ve decided to move things over once again! I have a feeling I’ll stick to Google Reader for a long time. It seems more reliable and quicker to pick up new feeds than Bloglines. Also, I love the fact that I can create a “Shared items” clip and place it right into the sidebar here on this blog! Now, whenever I read something especially interesting or worthy of sharing, I just mark it “shared” and it’ll automatically be picked up on my sidebar (”Recently Read Online”) for everyone to see. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Btw, we’re offering a new class at the Library on blogs and I’m definitely going to be talk about Google Reader, so sign up by calling (805) 449-2660 x. 204 if you’re interested in learning more about blogs and how to keep up with them.
