Sharing feeds on Google Reader

Posted by Kathryn Lagden, AIMS Canada...

Heard a great way of using Google Reader this week.

I was chatting with Steve Mast, VP and Managing Director of Delvinia about the challenges of consuming so much information. Blog feeds, podcasts, enewsletters, facebook messages, twitter feeds - it all leads to A LOT of information to digest in a day.

Steve shared with me that in his office everyone uses the 'share feed' feature of Google Reader. Each person is listed in his reader and just like his regular feeds he can see when there is a new post someone in the office is sharing. This struck me as a great way to cut through a lot of clutter and read the most relevant and topical information. Because after all, even the most prolific reader can't possibly keep up with all the blog feeds in our industry.  As Steve said, if someone in the office is sharing the post they obviously think it's worth reading.

What do you think? Do you use a reader? Have you tried the share feature?

A co-worker and I just talked about using Google Reader as a collaborative blog monitoring tool today. It's good to know a similar use is working for another organization. Thanks for sharing.

As it stands today, Puma produces products such as Puma Running Shoes that are highly desirable to consumers from a wide range of ages and incomes. Sports fans and those of the sports-oriented lifestyle all consider Puma to be a high-quality brand on par with several of the other big names in Sports products, such as Nike and Adidas. The only recommendation we could make is to encourage Puma to continue its efforts towards achieving and sustaining status as the most desirable Sportlifestyle brand through continued advertising campains, expansion of their product lines, and revising their pricing strategy.
