There are people who don't use feed readers?

Check out the following item from Google Reader. I am testing it in conjunction with Blogger's mail-to-post feature. Pretty neat.

There are people who don't use feed readers?

via Official Google Reader Blog by Brad Hawkes on May 02, 2007

It's fun to share interesting items with your friends and coworkers. Google Reader has a "Share" button and a public page to go along with it, and some people have been putting that to great use. Once you start sharing, others can subscribe to your shared items and see what you see (when you want them to).

This works great for your feed-savvy friends. But, what if you want to share something you find in Reader with someone who doesn't use a feed reader at all?

To the rescue comes a greatly improved email feature we're releasing today. Even Marge Simpson has email, so interesting feed items you come across can now reach almost anyone.

Now, clicking the "Email" link at the bottom of an item gives you the ability to:

• send email from within Reader -- no more second window for sending email.
• send the entire item as it appears in Reader, including formatting and images.
• use your Gmail address book (if you have one) to add contacts with auto-complete.

So, there you have it. Now you can share the great content from your feeds with anyone. Give it a try and let us know how you like it.

 

 

Things you can do from here:

• Visit the original item on Official Google Reader Blog
• Subscribe to Official Google Reader Blog using Google Reader
• Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all all your favorite sites

 

 

Delete Starred Items in Google Reader

A long time ago, when I first started using Google Reader, I didn't understand the Share feature, so I starred all the items I wanted to share, and made a public feed (link blog) for them.

I have recently started using the Share feature correctly, and now I want to have the starred section for posts that I want to hold onto and use as references for future blog posts of my own. The only problem is that I currently have over a thousand items in my starred section, and I need to start fresh. I can't delete them all, because it would take an almost infinite amount of time.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks...
