Read the Articles that I Read

I have recently changed RSS readers from Bloglines to Google Reader.  Although I used Bloglines for quite some time, it had some minor annoyances that got to me.  After several people suggested switching to GR, I finally did so.  Despite being apprehensive at first, I have now fully embraced GR, completely abandoning BL.  Now I can go back to items I have already read, as opposed to BL, which would make articles I had read vanish after I read them.  I also enjoy the statistics and user friendly interface.  Those Google folks sure know what they are doing. 

The icing on the cake came in the form of sharing.  When I stumble upon a story I find interesting and think you will find interesting as well, I can now flag it as 'shared'.  Once shared, those articles will show up on the COALM main page under the Links section for everyone to enjoy.
