I recently added another widget to this blogs sidebar that will display items that I “share” from my Google reader. These items automatically get pulled into my FriendFeed stream but not very well read. Now when I share an item from my reader it will automatically be displayed in the right hand side of this blog – with the original author info as well – for you to click through and read about.

You can see the full listing of items that I share on my shared items page which you can subscribe to as well. As I have mentioned before I believe Google is becoming a social network that surfaces parts you need only when you need them.

I have tried other blog bling in the past and some is still a part of the site while others are not. That is the fun of having a blog to experiment on – if you do not like this feature let me know!
