Google recently made it possible to share individual feeds and folders from Google Reader (they're called Bundles). Share your favorite bundles here:

This is how you find them: http://thenextweb.com/2009... and this is 150 of the most influential Tech Blogs & sites http://www.google.com/reader... - Zee.
not all at once now :P - Zee.
Nice Bundle Zee - Nicholas James
sounds almost naughty when you say it like that... :) - Zee.
@Zee I get a message "invalid stream name" after clicking on your link from iPhone - Roberto from fftogo
does anyone else get the same? - Zee.
Works fine for me Zee: ""150 of the Most Influential Tech News and Blogs" bundle created by Zee Description: Spent ages collecting these and here they for everything to enjoy. A bundle is a collection of blogs and websites hand-selected by your friend on a particular topic or interest. You can keep up to date with them all in one place by subscribing in Google Reader. There are 175 feeds included in this bundle" - Nicholas James
clearly a lot of people like the idea of this but not the sharing part - Zee.
This actually is a smart move from Google. This "bundles" feature now makes it much easier for new users to get started with lots of sources in Google Reader. Now even people that aren't ahead-of-the-curve-social-media-experts can enjoy the wonderful benefits of having too much to read. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

you the man Lou - Zee.

I'm loving this thread. I went and grabbed the newsier bundles from this thread and pulled them into a room. I'll keep adding to that too. guruvy-headlines: http://friendfeed.com/guruvy-... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
seriously, you guys suck! :P 64 likes and only 3 people have shared their bundles... - Zee.
Zee: no one believes me when I say that very few people are using Google Reader. I have more than 40x more people reading me here than on Google Reader and I was the #1 user of Google Reader for quite a while (according to the Google Reader team). That's just one small reason why I've shifted over to where the readers are: Facebook, Twitter, and friendfeed. - Robert Scoble
Hey, it would be interesting to ask how many people still use Google Reader. See, i think loads and loads do, but few bother sharing or socializing via it. - Zee.
Zee: according to my blog's referer log you're wrong. Measurement tells all. :-) - Robert Scoble
Boy, this sounds interesting! I gotta try it.. - Raj Rikhy
Omg this is so great! - Marika Dye
@Robert but don't you share your full content via RSS? - Zee.
I don't always visit reader because it can simply be overwhelming. Friendfeed and Twitter are more amenable to "partial attention" whereas Reader pretty much requires total focus for an extended period if I'm going to get use out of it. I only have that kind of time once every week or so, whereas I can keep Tweetie running most of the time without feeling too distracted by it. - Jason Wehmhoener
Jason -- the key to using Google Reader effectively (for me) is to focus on a few carefully defined folders, and feel under no pressure whatever to "catch up" with all your unread items. Just skim off the cream. - Sean McBride
I love my Google Reader but MAN I wish organization were easier. - Mona Nomura
Mona -- ever try dragging and dropping a GR folder from one location to another when you have a long list of folders? :) It's surrealistic. - Sean McBride
Though I use my reader you see my preference in the fact I went and aggregated these bundles here. I only use it as quick storage of feed addresses and to make sure I don't miss important items from my favorite writers that might have been missed in the noise. But now I'm starting to use the same client I use for most of my twitter and friendfeed to get my rss, PeopleBrowsr :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from f2p

thats very interesting. Thanks for the hard work Zee. And I think you're right in your comment that many people still use Greader, though they might not use it as a sharing tool. - Peter Efland

Sean, it sounds nice, and it works for a while, but I seem to collect feeds faster than our floor collects fur from our two dogs and two cats. I've found that I get more out of it if I don't "skim" but actually devote a solid chunk of time to it (just not very regularly). - Jason Wehmhoener
Jason -- by "skim off the cream" I meant to pay very close attention to the small set of GR items that really matter, and to use folders to corral those items. (Skim off, not skim.) - Sean McBride
That "small set" just isn't very small for me. Got lotsa folders. - Jason Wehmhoener
@Jason which "small set"? - Zee.
Sean is talking about a way of narrowing down Google Reader content, paying attention to "small set of GR items that really matter" but I'm saying that the items that really matter to me actually make up a somewhat large set. - Jason Wehmhoener
I've got over 1,000 GR feeds and over 100 GR folders, but I tend to gravitate towards and focus on a few folders in which the most interesting stuff clusters most strongly. - Sean McBride
