http://www.google.com/reader... I'm glad you asked this right now. I just realized that several people are following me and I didn't even know it. I hope it hasn't been this way for long!
- Michael Fidler
Just noticed that Reader now allows grouping of people you follow! Wondering: is Reader going to become a competitor (instead of complement) to FriendFeed?
- Chris Rogers
@rogersdc / Chris, Google Reader is obviously been trying to become more social, but I'd really like to see FF come out with a bookmarklet that makes sub'ing RSS feeds to FF easier/faster. Right now it's a manual process involving either a new Group/Room or Imaginary Friend. Should be 2 clicks tops.. Also see: http://friendfeed.com/alexsch...

Here is mine : http://www.google.fr/reader.... I share (mainly on French sites and blogs) about libraries, literature and arts, human and social sciences, photography :-)
- Nadine Pestourie
LOL here we go again :o) http://www.google.com/reader... I share a lot of blogs and funny stuff that I read, it's neat how I can share and it gets posted all over by friendfeed.
- David Gross
http://www.google.com/reader... - I share items about productivity, gaming, movies, and misc. stuff from the Google "cool" via Recommendations feed. Thanks Kol for starting this thread because I've been trying to cut down on the number of feeds I subscribe to and instead just follow interesting people.
- Dusty Edenfield
Svartling: good point about adding people to groups. I noticed I couldn't comment on items that were shared by some users.
- Dusty Edenfield
I've (we) written a lot of more good tips on how to use Google Reader in Google Reader comments. It's too bad we don't have permalinks in Greader so we can share our notes and comments. Otherwise I could have posted a link here. Here are some on friendfeed: http://friendfeed.com/svartli...
- Svartling
Thanks for posting this Kol. Never paid any attention to my shared items folder before but just did!
- Martha
The conversation is really blowing up (in a good way) on Reader. The most important reminder currently is to set up groups and allow commenting. That is NOT on by default!
- Vince DeGeorge
Thank you all. I think I have subscribed you all now (except those feed in languages I don't understand) Here is mine again: http://www.google.com/reader...
- Svartling
I've started to follow a few of the people here but there's quite a few, so will take me a while :) - My currently fairly bare feed is: http://www.google.com/reader...
- Roy Herrod
There are a few entries here you might like to read to help you. This one: http://ff.im/6CkQj explains about adding people to groups to allow them to comment and why some don't stay in groups. In this one: http://ff.im/6F9pQ I suggest a way to track a large number of shared items using PostRank. This: http://ff.im/6Ci0P and this: http://ff.im/6AM35 has a few tips on using GReader as a lifestreaming service. And this: http://ff.im/6EMT1 gives a few examples of GReader bundles.
- Kol Tregaskes
Those of you above whom I already follow on FF/Twitter/etc., I've subscribed to your feeds. As for the rest of you: if you follow me on GReader, I'll follow you back.
- Dennis Jernberg
I'm sharing some pages now, including a few of my past blog entries.

Because I have issues with data duplication, I have merged this list with the google reader shares room feeds. You can view the Google spreadsheet at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc...
- Rob Diana
There are a bunch of shared feeds that I could not resolve the Google username for because they did not have a named profile set up.
- Rob Diana
tristanhambling, your link didn't work. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
It would be really handy to have all these shared feeds as an opml file. Has anyone added everyone? Care to export an opml of the shared feeds?
- Paul Jacobson
I'm http://www.google.com/reader... Not really comfortable with the custom URL though since it can only be your gmail username. Makes it really easy for spamspiders I think.
- TobiasVerhoog.com
Tobias, possibly but not had any problems myself though Gmail has the best spam filters around so I probably not noticed. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
http://www.google.com/reader... mostly webdev, photography news, music, world news which i get interested. plus half of them may be article in Japanese. sorry. :-p
- browneyes
Andy, Richmond Park and the others around there are the appeal really. Good place to go photographing and cycling while being very close to London I think.
- Kol Tregaskes
Teddington (across the river from Kingston Upon Thames, is where I think I'd like to live. Just 'cos it's cheaper than everywhere else around it. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
anyone use google reader on windows mobile professional? I cant seem to get it to work and when I try to go to the mobile site it takes me to the regular site.
- David Gross
Nope, sorry can't help you there, David.

I still rely on Google Reader and RSS as a primary news path because I can (1) scan the full content of an item and (2) mark items off as I read or decide to ignore them.
If somebody could give me a client that let me (1) see the full text of items linked to in tweets and (2) mark tweets as read, I'd be ready to dump RSS.
- Ken Sheppardson
I found out this morning that Feeddemon is no longer controlled by Newsgator and is once again fully under Nick Bradbury's control for development. See his interview here: http://www.shootingatbubbles.com/index...

I think I did some work on Freeservers.com (in HTML) using Homesite (I was on the early team with them). I also worked on tupperware.com's site in Homesite.
- Jesse Stay
Great RSS reader, use it for quite a while now, haven't found a better one yet. Works togheter with NewsGator to keep your RSS feeds in sync. Great if you also use the mobile version. It has lots of features and a nice notification. The new beta also has tagging support.
- Michael
for which reasons do you want to use a desktop client? If you use an online reader, you should allways be able to access it, don't you? Doesn't a desktop client take up space on your HD (not much, granted, but still)?
- Xavier Bartholome
I rarely use the desktop client. It's good for when I am on planes.
- Steve Rubel
from IM
indeed! I forgot about that one place where you (still) don't have access to the web! ;o)
- Xavier Bartholome
That's for now. Wifi on planes is a game changer. There are lots of features I love in Google Reader. If someone adds a great iPhone client Ic an be back.
- Steve Rubel
from IM
Another advantage of a desktop client is the ability to let it save post indefinitely.
- Amit Morson
What mobile are you using? If it's iPhone, Byline is an excellent offline reader that syncs with Google Reader. It has support for landscape, noting items, disabling picture downloads, and more. been very happy with it.
- David Chartier
from BuddyFeed
I love Google Reader, just wish the apps for it on Android were more "robust"
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
Gears is also an option for offline gReader. The bonus is that you get to use the same great UI both online and off.
- David Chartier

With the most recent beta of FeedDemon synching with Google Reader it is easy to get the best of both worlds (Google Reader online + Offline desktop reader). I have found Newsgator's online service to be slow and feature poor. The Newsgator Go client for BB is very nice, though it dos not work offline.
- Sean Brady
I've just done the opposite, switched from NewsGator/FeedDemon/NetNewsWire to Google Reader - ever since the last release of Feeds for iphone. That was always the missing link for me, having a decent app that synced on the iphone to my online Mac/PC feeds. The Google Reader web page on iPhone whilst good, is no match for a proper application. On my PC/Macs though Google reader in browser is perfect for me.
- Nik Green
Nick Bradbury has created the most useful tool I have ever used on the internet in FeedDemon. It will CHANGE your life http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddem...
Very keen to hear how this goes- could solve several issues for MPOW
- suelibrarian
Google Reader & Feeddemon are so far a pretty impressive combination. I'm not a huge fan of G reader but like the web-sync when on the road. I tried FD a few years back and loved it, but couldn't give up the web reader. ... I also wanted the shared items feature of G Reader without having to use it. ... Headaches solved, at least so far!
- Steve Matthews
Wow. He basically republishes parts of your post with nonsensical and unenlightening snide comments in between. If he had a point to make, he failed wonderfully.
