Google Reader makes sharing easy
Google reader just added some new features which makes it really easy to share the things you find while reading RSS feeds or visiting web sites.
First, the new Notes feature adds a button in your browser’s toolbar. Whenever you are on a web page, just highlight some text and click the Add notes button and that text and the link to the page is added to your notes in Google reader. So as an example, while I’m cruising, I find something I want to read later or save to share with friends, I click the button and bang, I’ve saved it.
The next feature is tags. As I’m reading in Google Reader I can add a tag to the item. Items can have multiple tags so the same items can be grouped multiple ways. Items with the same tag can be shared. For example I quickly added the tag “Mac” to some of the articles I found and now I have a public page with all my Mac findings. Check it out:
The cool thing is you can tag your notes. So you can share web pages that don’t have RSS feeds.
This public page has a RSS feed so you can subscribe to my Mac links in your RSS reader or in Safari. As I add new ones, you see them in your reader.
This makes it super easy to share findings in any topic and you can share multiple topics.
