I used to do the shared links here on my site, but decided to take them down due to some layout problems and I really wasn’t a big fan of all the javascript action that was going on. I till like sharing my shared links from Google Reader though.
So what is a link loving geek to do?
Well I decided to figure out a way to post my shared posts form Google Reader into my Twitter posts.
1. Grab your Google Reader shared items RSS feed. This can be done by clicking on the “Shared Items” link in the Google Reader sidebar and then grab the RSS feed it gives you at the top of the next page.
2. Login to TwitterFeed.com (with an OpenID) and setup the feed to Twitter settings. Make sure the checkmark for Include item link (if unchecked, sends tweet without the tinyurl link) is selected.
Now Google Reader’s shared items should be showing up on your Twitter profile. My Twitter is now a little better.
i want to follow your shared links without using the twitter rss. So, what is the link to your shared items in google reader?
Sure you can pick up the page and feed for it here.
Awesome! Going to have to do this with my own site and Twitter.
