Share and Annotate Web Pages in Google Reader
Google Reader’s sharing feature was barely noticed when it was added, then it got more exposure when the shared items started to be and .
Google Reader finally added an option to share any web page and to add notes for each shared item. Next to each post, there’s a new action: share with note that can be used to explain why you found the post interesting or to add your comments. You can also go to the new Notes section to add a note or drag a bookmarklet to your browser’s link bar so you can share any web pages, even if it doesn’t have feeds.
Another improvement is that Google Reader shows small avatars next to each shared item and you can customize your public page by selecting a theme. But don’t get to excited as the three themes that are available (ice cream, ninjas, sea) fail to impress and look terrible in Internet Explorer 7.
The new features are useful, but Google Reader didn’t find a way to integrate discussions in the annotating feature, so you can reply to a comment. Even if it’s not a feed reader, is a better place for sharing web pages and discussing them with the people you know or care about.
