I am a big fan of Google Reader since the very first time I used it. It made reading feeds easier than before. Now I want to share its latest update which will improve user experience.
Send to
Should you find any interesting posts/feeds and you would like to share it to someone else, now you can do it. This feature allow you to share posts to Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, and many more.
To send an item, simply click on Send to button, and it will prompt you a list of choices. That’s all.
Feeds from people you follow
Now you can subscribe directly to people who follow you through their Google profile
To subscribe, click the “From people you follow” tab on the “Browse for stuff” page.
Additional control for marked items
People can be overwhelmed by too many unread items, and sometimes only want to see recent posts. The “Mark all as read” button now has a menu that lets you choose to only mark items as read if they’re older than your specified time frame. A tip of the hat to Nick Bradbury who pioneered this “panic button” feature.
Finally, a few small tweaks in this release:
- When you expand an item in comment view, you now get the full set of actions, enabling you to share, like, and star items without leaving comment view.
- Google added a “Feeds” start-page option for the iPhone/Android/Pre mobile interface, so you can see a list of your subscriptions when you sign in.
- There is now an option to show notes when embedding your shared items on other pages as clips.

I always like your post!
thx
check back often for more news, and of course, jokes !!
I agree, most of what I see on Twitter is garbage, and most of the people who want to follow me are spammers too.
I find Twitter occasionally useful, but don't personally have the need for constant tweeting.
