I use Google Reader as a regular tool in my social network and bookmarking daily strategy. I think it is very cool that GR is making this even easier. Time is money!!

This is a really cool feature that I'm sure a lot of people will make huge use of. I really wish that Reader Mobile would implement these features.
I'm definitely having the feeling, someone at google is monitoring my computer, and building on my ideas....hmm!? no probably not. Does anyone know if an API is planned?

GReader guys have been working hard.. There's just too much garbage going into feed readers these days, as blogs generate ever increasing amounts of content. What you really want is a feed reader that uses a ranking system that filters out all the junk. Retweets are a good measure of quality , number of comments, diggs.. why not use that information to help make readers' life easier? Well, that's why tFeeder is there. If you're into technology news, tFeeder will save you TONS of time spent on looking for interesting items in your feed reader. It also has a very simple mobile version, so never before was doing a number 2 such a fruitful waste of time!! http://tfeeder.com

First of all, who says that blogs that don't get tons of reTweets and Diggs aren't worth reading? How would your POS handle new blogs? Just because something isn't established doesn't mean it isn't good. Or, by your own way of thinking your spammy, upstart service should be filtered out of my damn visual range and not be in this comment section, because it falls below a certain level of reTweets and Diggs, because it's new.
Man... so many spammers on Mashable lately!

My favorite is FriendFeed -- except now FriendFeed is going to be no more. We are losing an excellent service to feed Facebook. The point -- the forwarding feature is not much help to me because I use none of the above.

It's lame, because it doesn't do it automatically when you hit the "Share" button. You have to manually click Send-To and then send it to each one.
If they're gonna try to play this game, why do it all half-assed? Why not do it right the first time and set it so you can pick which services you want your "Shared" items to auto-publish to?
Me? I'll just leave Friendfeed hooked up to my shared items so I can click once (on Share) and not have to worry about it.

This is great because some of us like to share a bunch of things on GReader, but don't want those flooding our Twitter feeds, which in turn feed our Facebook status updates automatically.
Now, for my friends following on GReader, they can browse everything I've shared whenever they feel like it. They're not forced to sort through it all on Twitter and/or Facebook. And for friends not following on GReader, but are on Twitter/Facebook, if I find something of particular interest, I can hit a quick link to share it on Twitter (which will also share it on Facebook).
It's discretionary sharing, and IMO that's better than the fire hose method other places utilize. I was having FriendFeed share my GReader shares, but I kept having to self-moderate what I would actively share. Now I can just uncheck having FF share GReader to Twitter automatically, and go back to the way I was sharing before (which often included inane things like Failblog and LOLcats that don't need to be clogging my Twitter/Facebook updates).

First of all, that's an incredibly creepy user pic.
And 2nd of all, good point. I suppose it offers more control, but that's just a matter of personal preference. I only share the ones that are really good, or that I find really interesting and want to see in my Twitter stream. You on the other hand seem to be sharing for other reasons, and I didn't think of that.
Question though, if you're sharing but don't want it shared, then why are you sharing it? What's the point? Isn't that what the "Like" option is for?

I love this new feature! It really makes Google Reader many times more useful to me, because now I can send articles to Instapaper quickly. I made a custom Send To link to do it.
As I tweeted earlier, I predict that these Google Reader updates will soon be followed by a deeper integration with Twitter and Facebook. See mock-up here http://twitpic.com/dqbul
Come to think of it, given that I use Reader daily, the only reason I would need the new Mark All As Read options would be if my feeds included friends tweets and/or Facebook updates.
Anyway, remember you read it here first :-)

Google Reader just needs a couple of themes now (like the new Chrome beta) and we are good to go :-)
