Plus some people publish RSS content they can't legally have shared such as when a blogger uses stock photos - the license doesn't cover indiscriminate sharing. Getty love suing for copyright infringement - a "shared" blog feed is republishing in an unlicensed form.

My prediction is that socialnetworks will specializes them self. So there will be networks for moms, dads, kids and teenagers even diffrent networks for music and so on. But something or some network will connect all diffrent networks. So mom can talk with dad even if he is in a network for old cars or whatever. The first one to take control over that oppertunit will have a headstart.

I read a lot of blogs, so I really like Google Reader. I like know when the blog has been updated and if the post is really good, I'll visit the blog and make a comment, or share it on FriendFeed and Twitter. I'm wondering when these new features are going to be rolled out. I don't see them on my Google reader right now.

Too little, too late. Twitter (yes, the company that plans to take over the world..) is the clear winner of the link sharing category. Google will find it hard to convince users to 'Geeg' stories they read in Google reader. I thought they'd hook into Twitter to help GReader users filter the interesting stories, but luckily, they didn't. tFeeder, our Twitter-powered technology news aggregator, gets to live another day.

What separates tFeeder from tweetmeme, whose API you seem to use? The Flash interface?

First, we use additional matrices to decide how interesting a story is (digg, comments). Additionally, you don't have to go to separate pages to find what your looking for - it's all in the flash widget. Filtering the stories list (either by your own search or by preset keyword) is very simple, and again - you do it all within a single 'page' (the flash widget). We also deploy unique algorithms that decide if a story is hot, thous recognizing emerging stories only a few minutes after they've been published. We just released a mobile version (which is rather addictive from our experience), we show aggregate data presenting most popular blogs and blog writers. We will add additional interesting aggregate data soon. Try it and decide for yourself!
its really good to hear that. I would love to read different topics at a time and even we can select the top burning topics. What you all say?

I love Google Reader! But they should think in optimizing the design because I love using the full screen mode, but they still have to much unnecessary space at the top of the window.

I "live" in Google Reader every morning. However, the lack of one social media feature is bugging me. Specifically, Google Reader should enhance its "Share" feature to let users direct the item to various social media websites like Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc.
In order to currently share an item in Google Reader to Twitter, I need to set-up a RSS redirect through TwitterFeed.com. The problem is that I am limited to one Twitter account. I have a couple Twitter accounts and would really like the ability to choose to which account an item is sent.
Such a feature would make Google Reader much more relevant in the conversions taking placing every day online.

I love these changes. This is great for collaborating online with friends - sharing a chuckle over funny stuff, pinning down that elusive links that will make your article sit up, the possibilities are great. Another nice way of finding like-minded people to befriend, or stumbling into great individuals who'd complement what you lack in your own network.

I *share* what i *like* on Google Reader, so I don't understand the new "like" feature... [But I think the improvements are really great]

One good thing about the new "Like" feature is the ability to see who else liked an article, so you can follow them.
Other tip for them: bring a way to deal with duplicate items. Sometimes the same news were published by 3 or 10 online newspaper and this will be a time wasting task.

Hi,
You might want to read this article on Google Reader is Evolving into a Twitter/Facebook Service
If you're writing articles online you can't *just* use Twitter. You'll need something like Google Reader as well. I do find out a lot of stuff on Twitter but I couldn't possibly use it as my only source of stories about politics or the city I live in, Brisbane, Australia. (the two things I write about online).
My Google Reader account has political blogs in it that no-one else I follow on Twitter reads. It also has YouTube videos and flickr photos produced in Brisbane, and a feed of media releases submitted to one of the local music newspapers. There's no good reason to get this sort of raw material through Twitter. In Twitter, if I miss it, it's probably gone for good unless I go searching. In Google Reader (or any other RSS reader), the info waits for me until I check it out.
I've noticed quite a few people using the "like" feature over the last few days. Popular articles sometimes have over two-hundred "likes", so this seems to be catching on. I've idly hovered over a few of the names in the "likes", which pops up a box with their photo and the first forty or so characters of their description on their Google Profile. If it included more description, this could become an interesting way to casually find new people to follow on Reader.
I've also run the RSS feed from my Shared Items page through Twitterfeed to my Twitter account. So I've been sharing my "shared" items with my Twitter followers for over a year now. Twitter followers are my main audience so this makes Reader very useful.
I'm surprised that Google haven't set up auto-posting to Twitter already through Reader, but even as imaginative a bureaucracy as Google can move slowly and be bad at noticing things people want. I wonder if the new moves towards working with open-source programmers will lead to things like Google Reader and Gmail being thrown open for developers to tweak?
