I'm a long-time blogger who just started up again and only last year started using del.icio.us, and only in the last week or so started using Google Reader - I was previously a big Bloglines user. I agree with many of your sentiments. Perhaps Google create a set of different colored stars or even different shapes to represent different categories of "marked" or "highlighted" items. I just found tags as well, but Google really needs to let you see your starred items in the same kind of hierarchical view that you get with your "folders" where you can then see each individual feed underneeth and either view the contents of the whole folder at once or individual feeeds. The other good point you bring up is about annotations. My main thought about annotations is that they would potentially allow for much more automatec blogging. Right now I have a facebook application that can display my google reader shared items as they are shared on my profile. This could and should be possible in blogging software and systems, but simply having a link to an item isn't enough. One should be able to annotate it, just like del.icio.us. Perhaps there are tools that let one automatically generate blog entries from feeds, from google reader shared entries, or from del.icio.us entries, I don't know. I guess I need to do more research. I have the added limitation that I'm not running my own blog software, but using a blog hosting service (Blog City), which I love, but which i can't simply hack their code to do this kind of automation! Anyway, you definitely brought up a lot of points that I have been thinking about and some that I haven't. Thanks for the great post! Hey, thanks for the very thought-provoking entry.
