Oops, somebody forgot to pay for the stock image… I see an iStockphoto comp watermark on there… LOL

Update: I got an email shortly after posting this, thanking me for pointing it out, and they got the image fixed right away. Good stuff. Now get to work - designs are due March 21st.

Originally posed to the PANMA community:

To take Ken’s comment as a leaping off point: “it would seem that no one cares about other people’s bookmarks any more than people care what others have in their cd collections”
Let’s suppose we want our collections to be nicely organized, and highly presentable, whether or not many of our friends will ever end up perusing them…

I’d love to hear everyone’s suggestions for publishing links, aggregating feeds, and compiling items.

For example, I’ve been “keeping up” using Google Reader (to answer the original question), and clicking “share” on all items that I want to appear on my personal aggregate page. Typically, if I come across a page outside of Reader that I want to share, I post it to my Facebook account. Since I have Google Reader tracking my Facebook shared items, I can share it via Google once it shows up in the feed (which I think violates Facebook’s Terms of Use).

I wonder what is the most efficient way to filter the vast info-flow through my particular lens of interest and then have some degree of control over the presentation of the resulting content. If Google let you add css to your shared items page, that would be a heck of a start… Actually, Tumblr looks promising, but I haven’t played with it much yet.

…additional thought: on these posted items pages from Google and Facebook (btw, can you see my Facebook feed if you are not a logged-in user?), the images displayed are still hosted by the source site. Isn’t that bandwidth hijackery?

Internet life’s burning questions… :-)

My Google Reader Shared Items page is like my very own blog (if I did nothing but post excepts of and links to stories from around the web… which is kinda all I’ve been doing lately, anyway). But, it’s easier. I just browse through the feeds from my favorite sites and click “share” on the ones I choose. I just wish I could customize the visual design of the page. Maybe someday soon.

A couple thoughts: Like the Facebook feed, this one hotlinks the images from their original hosts — is this no longer considered bandwidth leeching? At least Fast Company usually manages to get their advertisers some visibility in the posts…

Can you view my posted items feed, even if I am not on your Facebook friends list? …even if you are not a Facebook user? I suspect you can - I can see it when I’m logged out…

What about my posted items page? That one, probably not.

Until you add someone as a friend, if they’re not in your network, you can usually only see their profile image, and who their friends are. So, why can my posted items feed be viewed? …probably only because I just gave you a direct link to it. :-p

But, I wonder about this, because I could take that RSS feed and put it on another site, and anyone could see it. However, I think that would be violating Facebook’s Terms of Service, which state:

No Site Content may be modified, copied, distributed, framed, reproduced, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, transmitted, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without the Company’s prior written permission…

Now, there are some exceptions, related to user-generated content, and presumably to third-party content, whose owners may not even know was used, but my head’s starting to spin, so further thought on that will be postponed until later…
