I Don’t Wanna Follow Just What You Write, I Wanna Follow What You Read – Your Shared Items
September 3, 2009 – 10:20 pm | by Daryl TayEver since Google Reader introduced more social features like following, sharing, liking and commenting, I’ve been watching what friends like CC Chapman share more and more, and in some ways that has become my new discovery mechanism. I still believe very much in the link economy and I think sharing links is one way to tell people what you like.
It comes down to trust. If I know this individual produces good content, then the stuff he or she finds interesting enough to share with his or her community, it must be good content as well.
The one problem I have, is that it’s not all that easy to find out who’s sharing what on Google Reader unless they’re already an email contact. So here’s my shared items as well as my shared items rss feed and bookmarks i save on Delicious.com.
If you have one, share it with me as well!

I am sharing my Google Reader here
I really believe that Google Reader understands the need for people to Crowd Source the news. I reduced my RSS Feeds recently and increased the people I follow because if its worth while news – I know they will share.

Thanks for sharing, Daryl. It is true, another great service on Google Reader but, at the moment, it is really under utilised. I found interesting people to follow by chance mostly.
