Probably. :-) - Kol Tregaskes from twhirl

I am - Shevonne

I actually don't think that I share enough. Now, it's time for sharing! - Damien Franco

shared a few things since I wrote this post...ah, I am one! whoops! - Sarah Perez

I am. - Roberto Bonini

I shared this. :) - Ontario Emperor

Guilty as charged - Aaron Krug

I didn't share this in Google Reader, but clicked like in FriendFeed. That said, I love Google Reader's sharing feature. Please use the "share with note" feature and you'll see that it gives you some extra "oomph" when your item gets here to FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble

I use "share with note" for items that don't have an image on the original page. Anything with an image I try to share using the bookmarklet as it tends to garner more interest. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Me too, Tina. I just wish it didn't take so much extra work to do that. - Jordan Hofker

I've actually slowed WAY down on Google Reader sharing since FriendFeed came out. Here's my latest stats: "From your 820 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 9,965 items, starred 0 items, shared 376 items, and emailed 0 items." - Robert Scoble

I have been feeling as if I shouldn't be sharing anything from any popular blogs, due to the fact that everyone has probably read it or even shared it themselves. I am thinking of only sharing stuff from blogs you might not know about, from now on. - April Russo

I cut those feeds out and put them into a FF list I called "3) The Flood". Now RWW/TC/Mashable/Profy and a few others are no longer in my Reader. I still get their content but now I can see the other blogs that update less than 10x a day. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Oh and +1 Robert on "share with note". All of my gReader shares are done with FF in mind. - Daniel J. Pritchett

From G-Reader an Reddit, I share everything that I find worth reading. If you've read it, skip it. If not, read it. Share is my way of saying "this is what people need to know", not "you don't know this and I'm cooler than you" mainly cause I'm not cooler than you. - tehKenny

Robert, what you think about this idea for aggregating content? http://bit.ly/16keB - Daniel Miessler

Daniel, maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but FriendFeed already does that. THere's a HUGE difference between my feed at http://www.friendfeed.com/scoblei... for instance and my "Likes and Comments" feed at http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

We need to develop a different attitude to sharing, liking, marking, etc. The point of the exercise should be to collect a set of data points and build a profile over time that can be matched with other sets of data points and profiles from other people any time in the future. Less emphasis should be placed on whether people read your shared, liked or marked items at the moment. Your entire data set will become more valuable over time, and its real value may be unlocked years later in unforeseen ways. I share, like and mark items because they interest me, not because I am concerned that an audience might be interested in them. They comprise elements of a personal notebook. - Sean McBride

@ Sean - exactly. - nicefishfilms

@Robert: I created imaginary friends for the RSS feeds of some high-volume blogs and put them on a list for me to follow. This way I just peek my head in now and then to see what's going on. This completely separate from the existing FF accounts of e.g. RWW or TechCrunch. The point for me is keeping my gReader queue manageable. I can't and won't read every single article by a newspaper-style group blog, even if I like the blog. - Daniel J. Pritchett

@Sean: If I can't get anyone to "like" my content on FriendFeed then the presentation is probably too poor to even get them to read it. I shape my feed in order to reliably communicate the messages I'm trying to get out. If I post a link without explanation and no one reads it, who benefits? - Daniel J. Pritchett

@Robert, the problem is that when you share something from Google Reader or FriendFeed you didn't CREATE that content--you discovered it. So it's actually more similar to your liked feed. I'm suggesting we need to completely separate them based on content you CREATE, e.g. your blog posts and comments, vs. things you discover/like. - Daniel Miessler

@Daniel M: Identifying and re-sharing a good thought via gReader is only slightly less difficult than doing the same thing in essay form on your own blog. Both add tremendous value. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Daniel: actually FriendFeed puts Google Shares onto my "created" feed. But if I like things here, that goes on a separate feed. I wish I could build a single mashup of everything I do. - Robert Scoble

I can tend to over-share, I wish there was a way to make comprehensive but not overwhelming batch updates from these shares - Glenn Batuyong from twhirl

@Robert: You could create a Yahoo Pipe to merge your separate friendfeed tabs into a single RSS feed. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Robert: Yahoo Pipes = complete mashup EDIT: Daniel, get out of my head! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

@Daniel P. -- I disagree. Hitting the "Google Note" or "FF Share" button on a page is infinitely easier than 1) going into your blog software, and 2) creating something valuable in terms of extending the content via comment. When you do the former you discovered it, and when you do the later you created something. I'm proposing the idea that this distinction is important to readers. Thoughts? - Daniel Miessler

@Daniel M: Writing your own long-form blog post is certainly *more work* than generating a pile of FF shares with notes added. They're both extremely useful! If you want to differentiate between "first party content" and "third party content with notes added" I'm not going to stand in your way. - Daniel J. Pritchett

@Robert: The single mashup is the idea. Well, two mashups--one for created and one for discovered. This kind of thing is easily accomplished with Yahoo! Pipes. I'm making my own aggregated CREATED feed very soon, and I'm going to start displaying my created and discovered content separately on my site. Twitter, Blog, Forums, Comments, etc. go to CREATED, and all the "like/vote up/share" items will go to my DISCOVERED feed. Mull it over. I think you'll see the power when it hits you. - Daniel Miessler

I actually dont subscribe to any feeds I just have my shared feeds of friends that I share with the rest of the world. - (jeff)isageek

sharing is caring! :) - (jeff)isageek

I think some of the over sharing issue could be limited by the reader. I've been coding my own reader and designed it to ignore duplicate links. Since I subscribe to louis gray's blog any items from my shared feeds do not get in my reader since they are duplicates. I don't see why in other readers they can't auto mark read duplicate links from shared feeds. - Shawn McCollum
