Being able to star items in Google Reader seems a great way to keep track of interesting posts. To then share these posts with others via an RSS feed seems even better. Well this afternoon, I've done just that by publishing a Grazr widget on my blog which copes with the job just fine.
To read a post, click on its title twice which will launch the relevant webpage or to read it within Grazr, click on the top right icon and go from there. To reset the widget, click on the left arrow next to a post or refresh the page by pressing the F5 key.
Now when I share new items or unshare old ones, the Grazr widget will update itself automatically. This should prove particularly useful as an aide-mémoire for catching up on podcasts I don't have the time to listen to there and then. Could be good.
Hi joe, this sounds good as I currently use google sidebar on my desktop that has a widget with your posts always popping up!!! What I like about the sidebar is that I can see posts popping up no matter whtat application I am using therefore do not need to be on my page etc. The downside is it is not sharable on my blog in our sharing society.
A questions Joe on another topic - why do you have girl weatherpixie when you are a man - i hope?

Hi Sharon,
Thanks for the comment. I don't know why I decided to choose a female weatherpixie instead of a male one, but I can assure you that I am indeed a man, honest! Here is a picture to prove it: http://www.schoolsnetwork.org.uk/Article.aspa?NodeId=0&PageId=236716
On a more serious note, could you not run a feed through your Google Sidebar and through your blog with Grazr at the same time, thus killing two birds with one stone as it were?
