Google Reader feed swap

July 27, 2007 | 1 Comment

I had previously been sharing my “starred” items from Google Reader and I was using it to share things I found interesting from the various sites I keep up with. Embarrassingly, only today did I discover that there’s a “share” feed as well, that’s better suited for what I’m trying to do. So I’ve made my “starred” items feed private, if you’re curious, I intend to use it for “things I want to read again later”. I will use “shared items” for, uh, sharing. I’ve updated the sidebar on the site with the new code, I’m posting this in case someone who reads this subscribes to my starred items (I believe at least one person does, hi Alex!). This is the URL for my shared items: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/03223703547434487905 which you can add to your feed reader.

  1. Yep, I do. I actually subscribe to maybe a dozen people’s shared feed. Most of us spend a lot of time researching, sifting or aggregating data, and so on. But there’s typically not much convergence. So, it’s interesting to be able to read what other people consider interesting without having to go through the trouble of doing the sifting/aggregating/researching you’ve already done.

    …Of course this means I always have something very distracting, just a single tab away in my Reader pane.
