Great Things I’ve Read — April 13

For those of you who are new to the site this week, I keep a list in my sidebar of the great things I’ve read through Google Reader. They have a Share function that makes it easy to — well — share particularly interesting posts. I try to always put them in a post when I’ve built up 10 or so so that you RSS subscribers see them as well, but regular readers will tell you that I’m notoriously inconsistent. Witness this latest batch with 17 entries. Sorry about that.

Oops. For those of you who are reading via RSS, I forgot to post my shared links once I hit 10 new ones like I promised last week. So without further ado, here’s the new 14!

Google Reader has a Share feature that allows you to mark items in the RSS feeds that you subscribe to. When you do that, those items are then made available for public consumption through a custom URL and through a custom RSS feed.

Well I read things all the time that I want to share a link to, but it’s frequently a chore to write a full post about them, and I just never seem to get around to creating a speedlinking post.

Now I think the Share feature has solved that for me. New today, you’ll notice in my sidebar a Great Things I’ve Read section. That pulls right from my Share list automatically, so it will always be up to date. In addition, I’ll do a quick post every time I build up 5 to 10 links just so that they also become part of my RSS feed for all of you who subscribe.

So be sure to keep an eye on that section for some great articles, and here’s a list of the first 10!
