The Google Reader team just unlashed a bunch of new features. The most interesting one is the ability to send an item to other social networks like twitter, Facebook, and etc.

I've been trying to find a good way to share interesting items I read on Google Reader since I switched from Gregarius. I have a blogroll in my blog, which is sync to delicious. I used to have Friendfeed consolidate my blogroll and stream it to Facebook.



With the new Sent to function, I'm able to directly send an item to Twitter. Then I read and share items on Google Reader to share with people following me, and have Friendfeed pick it up and stream to Facebook.

But the most interesting part is user can customize and send to 3rd party service not listed. I setup Google Reader so I can share an item and add to blogroll separately (which I use as a link dump). This way, I can selectively bookmark share items that I also want to keep on my blogroll.
