Google Reader group Shared Items webpages
It seems some special type of Google Reader users are allowed to list their subscriptions or a selected type of reading list (or blogroll) on their “Shared Items” webpage.
Compare my “Shared Items” webpage to Barack Obama.
Now check out this promo page where you can choose from a list of Google Reader Users “Shared Items” webpages.
This is coming into the newsmastering territory, because we also get merged streams of “Shared Items” pages.
For example on this promo page it offers a link to the “Shared Items” webpages of both Barack Obama and John McCain, but it also shows a merged stream of content from both these pages, and a merged feed.
Also on this promo page are links to the “Shared Items” webpages of several journalists, and it also shows a merged stream of content from all these journalists, and a merged feed.
Both of these merged streams have webpages of their own, here’s Barack Obama and John McCain, and here’s the journalists.
So imagine…
…making your own “Shared Items” group pages, I think this will be available soon.
Get ten of your friends and create a group “Shared Items” webpage…list a link to each person’s “Shared Items” webpage, and display a mixed stream of content from all ten “Shared Items” webpages, and to be able to subscribe to one spliced feed from all these pages.
I wonder if it would delete duplicates, and if the duplicate had a “note” it would also appear on the original item.
It would also be good to click on a person from the list and limit the stream to just their “Shared Items”, rather than only having the option to launch to a new window.
Actually this kind of reminds me of a FriendFeed Room, but these rooms don’t just re-syndicate content, you can also manually post right into the page, and on top of that also have discussions.
I also wonder whether the stream will do the FriendFeed type of thing or TechMeme where you can have a popular filter.
