Integration of Reader with Facebook

How can you integrate Google Reader with Facebook?

There is a way to integrate Google Reader into your Facebook Account. Google shared items can be applied directly onto your Facebook Profile, in which others can see and read them as well. A Google Reader ID is required to pull all of your feeds or items into your personal Facebook account. When the Google reader account is set up, then you can customize the feeds that you’d like to present or share with your friends or coworkers. The items are broken down into three categories of Top shared items, friend’s shared items and your shared items. When you pull your feeds into Facebook it allows you to choose which category you would like to apply or feed into your account. Top items may update several times a day or every 12-24 hours and it also shows how many times the items were shared. All in all it helps you to keep up with the latest or most current piece of information/news.

Google Reader




It is a web based aggregator, which is capable of reading atoms and RSS feeds online and offline. Google labs released this application in October 2005. It was designed as a way for the public to be able to enjoy reading news and sharing it with others. Originally an item to be shared with others was done by a process of sending a link through email, which would direct the user to the shared article. In December 2007 there was a change to the sharing policy, which allowed items that were marked shared to be visible to Google talk contracts. Many users didn’t like this new procedure due to there being no way to “opt out”. Up to 2000 items can be downloaded to be read off line and after coming back online, the feeds are updated by Google reader. This feature was discontinued after June 2010. Google Reader can be used by any device that supports XHTML or Web WAP 2.0 and as well as IPhones.
