Googlified

Google Reader added another social feature that lets users to post notes or comment on a feed post and share them with their friends. Post a note is pretty easy, just go to Notes under Your stuff on the left sidebar, type in your note in the text field and click on Post Note, and your note will be shown to your friends using Google Reader and be listed on your Google Reader’s shared items page. You can unshare the items at anytime by clicking on the Unshare buttom.

Sharing a feed post with your note on it is equally easy, but just on Share with note button. The title and content of the post can be edited before sharing. Another fancy thing you can do now is choose a theme for your shared items page, Ice Cream, Ninjas, and Sea, or you can just stick to the default style - clean and simple, the real eye candy.

This Weekend Project #19: build a custom feed reader.
