More features than you can shake a stick at

I've just enabled the feature that lets you easily send an RSS feed item to Facebook, twitter or delicious from within Google Reader. The mind boggles.

More fun with Google Reader

I decided to see what other feeds Google Reader might suggest for me based on my current reading habits. Once I got over the fact that one of them was "Cute Overload", I enjoyed checking out my new subscriptions, including Gizmodo. It is very geeky.

I then went to check out my Shared Items page, which I had never looked at before. I set it to use the Ninja theme, and made it visible to everyone. There was an easy click-button way to add a Shared Items gadget to my blog, so I did.

Google Reader and subscribing to the 23 Things Blog

I love Google Reader and use it every day. Sometimes I wish it had a more visually exciting interface, but in general, it brings me the RSS feeds I follow and allows me to organize them into folders, so I am a happy user. I never knew about the N and P shortcuts to use while reading a feed, and this will be extremely useful!

Above is a screen grab of my tag cloud from my Google Reader Trends, as you can see, the word "fun" is quite substantial, probably thanks to Boing Boing and Icanhascheezeburger. I am pleasantly surprised to see that "food" is rather small.
