What should the "Share with Note" keyboard shortcut be?
Chris Wetherell, Google Reader engineer, wants to know what we think the keyboard shortcut for sharing an item with an note should be. I noted the lack of such a shortcut in my post last night. Shift+S is already for sharing. Should it be Shift+N? Shift+S n ? You can reply to Chris on Friendfeed.
Google adds all the right stuff to sharing items
You've been able to share items with your Google Reader friends forever. You could also publish a page of all the articles and pages you share to the public in HTML or RSS format. Google added a bunch of new features to Google Reader today that enhance the experience of sharing items with people. If you're a regular reader of my site, you might remember that I specifically asked for these features back in February: Currently, I’m using Facebook Shared Items to compliment my Google Reader shared items, mostly because I can personalize the message and give my shared item ...

Dealing with information overload
How I skim my "high volume" feeds: information overload from Clint Ecker on Vimeo. I've long thought it would be interesting to make a video of how people with tons of feeds skim them and pull out interesting information. This is my "high volume" folder which holds posts from sites which post 10+ more items a day and which I could "mark all as read" and not miss much. When I skim through these posts, this is how I do it. Each post probably gets less than a second to catch my attention. You can definitely see which posts get ...

People love my shared items feed
It's a bit surreal, but I've heard from quite a few people that my shared items feed (a.k.a. linkblog type thing) is a really good read and they find a lot of awesome stuff in it. It's a big mixup of cool artistic stuff, extremely interesting articles I've read, weird shit, and cool development (programming) posts. I can't really explain what sort of genre it falls into, but it's unabashedly Clint. Many people may not know that I post linky-things to two different places. I use both Google Reader and I share items I don't find in Google Reader to ...

Google Reader Team: Let me add a short comment with my shared items
Dear Google Reader team, I love sharing items with my friends on Google Reader, it's one of the best parts of the site. However, I would really like to send along a short message with my shared items. Currently, I'm using Facebook Shared Items to compliment my Google Reader shared items, mostly because I can personalize the message and give my shared item some context. If Google Reader supported something like this, even a Twitter-esque 140 character limit to the comment, I could ditch my Facebook crutch for this sort of thing. That's all, thanks! Clint
How to add or update your Google Reader profile
As a service to all my new Google Reader friends, here is a short tutorial on how to update your Google Reader profile so you can add at least a nice little icon for your account. Why would you want to do this? Well, for one, it's tough to tell you all apart at a quick glance! Without an icon, my friends list looks like this: Not only does that list look boring, it's hard to tell everyone apart unless I read their names. Here's how you update your profile, which can include a lot more than just a user ...

Thanks to everyone who's added me on Google Reader
I just wanted to drop a quick line here and thank all the people who added me as a friend on Google Reader. I'm already seeing a lot of cool posts I probably would've never come across normally!

RSS organization systems, how about you?
About a month ago I decided to initiate an experiment. I would switch over to Google Reader and reboot my feed reading tactics. I had read posts by Matt Wood and Jason Kottke (who had expanded on Matt's system). I had accumulated a very hodge-podge organization system which had grown quite wooly over the past four years or so. At one point I was reading up to 500 subscriptions daily when I was writing for Ars on a regular basis, and with a poor organization system it was get quite overwhelming. My previous system looked like this: Ars Ars Projects ...

Seeking excellent Google Reader friends
I current have a good set of friends who use Google Reader on a regular basis and I often find myself enjoying the items they share with me. Despite that, I'd love to have even more really smart, interesting people who are sharing good stuff with me. Not to come off like Robert Scoble, but I feel that the more I "surround" myself with smart people pointing out cool things to me, I can only benefit! So, if you're a Google Reader-using, item sharing nut, add me as a friend in Gmail/Gtalk, I'm clintecker@gmail.com

Web Applications I Use on a Daily Basis
I saw Michael Arrington post his list over on TechCrunch and since I have always been a proponent of using online tools over desktop applications to get things done. In the past year though, it has become even easier to make that transition. Whereas I swore off desktop mail clients years ago and went 100% Gmail, I just recently made the jump from NetNewsWire to Google Reader (mostly for the cool sharing support and persistence everywhere, including the fancy mobile interface for my iPod touch and Blackberry). So here's a list of all the online tools I use on a ...
