vv's blog

at some point, i got sick of all that lot of “seen the news?” messages i receive way too often via instant messengers.

it’s fairly annoying that these messages usually come at the wrong time, when i’m hell busy.

thanks to Google, there’s a non-annoying way of doing these things: via Google Reader. in addition to what almost any standalone RSS/Atom reader application does, Google Reader has a “share” button.

this is how it works:
you browse the news, and, if you decide it’s something others should know about, press that “share” button. all the things you’ve shared appear on your “shared items” webpage, which has a feed as well.

see the blue box on the left of this blog? those are my shared items.

i’m open to receive the “shared items” feed URLs from anyone that cares of keeping me informed. please email me yours and i’ll aggregate it in my reader. or, if you want a broader audience, drop it in a comment to this post.

thanks.
