Quick Summary: Find out three different ways to share your Google Reader feeds with your readers.

I have 489 feeds on my Google Reader, and that would classify me as a rather heavy user. Even though I don’t read all of them on a daily basis, I manage to read quite a few under my must-read tag.

Over time, I have toyed with various ways of sharing these feeds with my readers. Sometimes, I have shared my OPML file with my friends. Usually, I have satisfied myself with adding a clip of my Google Reader Shared Items on my sidebar.

Now, Google has made it easy for me to share my feeds with you by allowing me to convert my Google Reader feed subscriptions into a blogroll -

As a heavy user of Google Reader, I figured that the best way to get a blogroll would be to have Reader generate it for me, based on my subscriptions.

Head over to the “Tags” section on the settings page, make one of the tags you use for subscriptions public, and click on “add a blogroll to your site.” (Google Reader Blog)

So, now there are three different ways for you to see what I’m reading on Google Reader -

- Check out my Google Reader blogroll based on the feed subscriptions under my must-read tag.

- Visit the public page for my Google Reader feed subscriptions under the must-read tag (or subscribe).

- Visit the public page for my Google Reader shared items (or subscribe).

  1. In Facebook there’s an app to put your shared feeds in your profile. Search for Google app I bet you’ll find it. Or go look on my profile.
