News and social bookmarking: my link blog and shared items

I use Google Reader every day for my RSS feeds and Google Shared Stuff for non-feed pages and sites of interest. Though Shared Stuff is clearly a project-in-progress, Reader is a perfect example of Google's ability to combine function, intuitiveness, and simplicity.

View my link blog here and my shared stuff page here.

Expect further integration between the two services and with other Google products as well. The ability to share any post, feed, or page with aggregated comments from friends, contacts and such is clearly in the works. There's no reason that a page (or the ability to embed somewhere else) doesn't exist with a centralized list of my Google additions, be they feed items or other shared things.

Google is to announce a new set of API's on November 5 that indicates its social graph/network response to Facebook's f8 platform.
