Google Reader Expanding Its Friend Sharing Features

Writing by Social Marketing Journal on Thursday, September 25, 2008 Comments Off

If you use Google Reader then you will probably be aware of the controversy that occurred at the beginning of the year when friend sharing meant you were sharing a lot more than perhaps you wanted too. Google addressed that issue and now they have added a few more features.

One of the big changes is that Friend Sharing can now be done worldwide in any of the supported languages. Other changes include the ability to tag whilst sharing or noting. This is especially useful if you use lots of tags to organize your posts.

You can now also choose between alphabetical ordering or drag n’ drop ordering for your subscription list. This is handy if you have a lot of subscriptions in your reader.

Previous changes made it easier to manage who shares with you. When someone decides to share with you, you get a notification and the ability to preview and subscribe to their shared items. With the new features, you can share it worldwide in a number of languages.

I know there are some individuals who swear by Google Reader to distribute their blog content every time they post a new article. It is not really a feature that I have felt compelled to use yet.
