Hi Robert, I started using Google Reader a few days after the big update but I just wasn't as comfortable with it as I was with Bloglines. I recently tried Reader again and now I'm hooked. I guess I just had to let the Google goodness sink in a little. Here's the url for my link blog which I just started this week. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers!
1) It's only too many if you try to read them all. I mostly just skim the headings and read the stuff that interests me. 2) I'm subscribed, and I'm about to delete all of the "news" blogs from my subscription list because of it. You are my news source now, I'm going to blog about that tonight if you want the full details ;) 3) Nope, because I don't have an easy way to create one (I use FeedDemon).

(quickly, before I catch a plane)
1) Nope, lots of links are good as long as they're interesting/useful (Yeah, that's pretty much a matter of opinion, but so far they've pretty much been good.)
2) Through google reader.
3) No, since you're basically sharing all the items I see from my other sources.
4) Yes, please share your OPML :)

On the days when you add 50, it's too many, but I found some good links from that information. It's just imposing to have that many to read, and now there is overlap with other items. Wish there was a way to eliminate the duplicates in the Google Reader.
I'm with you though, it's great to have it available and it does a nice job of navigating through the web blocker at work :-)
I'm reading 292 feeds already, constantly deciding whether to share or not AND subscribing to all the feed (b)logs of my friends... that would become just plain nuts I fear.

Robert, I am giving it to you. You got me to try Google Reader and now I am hooked. Yes, now I have a link blog BUT I don't subscribe to yours. Me and a friend are using it to keep tab on what we are reading.
I think there's a bit too much on your link blog. But, I also follow a bunch of feeds and end up duplicating what I'm already reading, with stuff in your links. So, for me it's not worth as much. But, if I didn't follow as many blogs myself, I'd probably like it more.
Robert, you are one of the folks who turned me on to Google Reader. I've now got several hundred feeds I am able to follow, and yeah I've got a link blog too. I put maybe 20 links per day on it.
I don't subscribe to yours, and I would bet not many subscribe to mine either. The main purpose of mine is to show links on my blog to posts that I have either blogged about or like a lot, but not enough for a whole blog post.
I used to use it all the time. However, it stopped refreshing nearly all of my feeds a month or two ago, and as of a couple days ago, still hasn't refreshed them. I've tried e-mailing them and posting on their newsgroup, but absolutely no help has been forthcoming. It's too bad, cause it was great when it worked.

I love feeds as well. I'm quite picky at what I subscribe to, so I only got around 20 feeds that I read. But I'm constantly going out of my way to read new blogs and if they seem interesting I'll subscribe to their feed.
I think you could put more links on to your link blog, tho I dont read all of them just look through the headlines and read/star the ones I find interesting.
Don't have link blog of my own. Don't know why.

1) Yes and no. Lots of times I will see something I just read because we'll have subscribed to the same feeds. At times, it's almost possible to tell when both of us are reading b/c stuff will show up again right after I had gone over it. Vice versa, I'll come to something from you before I get to it in my own set of feeds. Time travel, perhaps?
I subscribe to yours. I keep it in another folder than my "daily" to read lightly when I have time, so no its not too much. I do go back to it.
My own linkblog use is slightly different. I use it as a kind of pending file ... interesting posts that I might blog on later, but at a minimum, I just want to hang on to them. And of course I link to it from my blog.
Re posts overall I have 175, of which 84 are in my "daily" folder.
PS ... Google Reader has done (since the September interface change) for RSS what gmail did for email. I can't go back.

Hi Robert,
I have been using Google Reader for more than 4 months. Till then I used to read using Bloglines. It feels very easy, both in the previous version of the Google Reader and the New version. At first I had no idea, on Sharing. Later it turned out to be more than a habit. But my sharing frequency is not as High as yours. Oh! and yes, I subscrube to your feed anf link blog. I have one problem, that is we both read Engadget, then If you have shared an post from Engadget and I happened to read it before I read from my direct subscription to Engadget, then GR should recognize it and mark both as read. Again, If I read Engadget's Direct Feed before your link blog feed, it should notify me that it is also shared by Scoble!. Dont you think so?. Have you got any such problem subscribing to a link blog?. Here is my link Blog : http://www.google.com/reader/shared/02421592127... and it's feed: http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/0...

Mr. Scoble,
I created a "Reading List" (aka link blog) of articles I think would be interesting to my own readers, using Google Reader's tagging mechanism and FeedBurner for nicer presentation:
yep. i stuck it out with Google Reader eversince. i knew they were going to improve the crappy first version :) so now i cleaned up my feeds and only subsrcibe to 180. i love the new interface. very easy to use.
btw, i hope GReader support secured/private feeds soon. my workaround right now is to use Feedburner then plug it into my GReader. works like a charm.

The only time I remember that you have the shared page is when you mention it in the posts. But, because you mentioned it, I decided to look into how they work and like the idea of using them. I have started sharing a few things recently and want to look into adding it to the sidebar of my blogs at some point and see if I like it there enough to keep it there.
1) No, I skim each one... read the ones that are interesting, its a great overview of the day... some are of articles that i have already read as i am subscribed to that blog to, but very easy to just hit n and go to the next one... 2) yeah, i am subscribed to it via google reader.. 3) I have thought about it as it is a very easy way to share news with others...
and yes please share your OPML... i am always looking for new feeds... i find myself spending more time in google reader than on digg...

Gotta tell ya...
You've got me hooked onto Google reader....I couldn't agree more with you (“U, J, J, J, J, J, K, J, Shift-S, J, J.”)
I've tried two other feed readers in the past -Wizz RSS for Firefox (loved it!) and Feed Raider, but the ability to quick-view posts definitely places Google Reader in a league of its own.
I also think the ability to star and tag posts, helps me organize my online reading and manage my blogging references while I craft blog posts. Currently, I use delicious for online bookmarks and Google Reader for blog bookmarks.
I've added short "Sugar Rush" posts to Zero Boss. At the bottom of every block of Sugar Rushes is a link to my items tagged "zeroboss" in Google Reader, so that people can read what I don't have time to publish.
Ye Gods, do I love Google Reader.
Adding your link blog to my feeds, Robert. :)

I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to use an online reader. Google Reader may be as fast as NetNewsWire (unlikely), but I like to have the ability to read my feeds offline, such as on an airplane.
I do like the idea of a link blog, though. Sharing as an afterthought is the way to go. If I have to jump through hoops to share, then it's simply not worth it.

I subscribed to your feed, but am not able to unsubscribe again because of a bug in Google Reader (I'm able to unsubscribe from any other feed).
I like about 20% of what you're sharing, and this 20% are now in my standard feeds-selection anyways.
This 50 or more feeds a day are quite a lot if you haven't got so much time to read them all, most of the time I just skip them, currently, because of the lack of time.

After trying various reader programs on the Mac over the last few years I never managed to see the advantage over just visiting the websites.

Robert, will your talk be available online anywhere ?

I really appreciate your linkblog, but I think you should decrease a bit the number of posts you share.
In the same way I used to watch the digg frontpage RSS feed but the number of items is increasing. They should strenghen their algorithm...

After your regular positive comments over Google Reader, I made the switch from Rojo and started up a link blog. With Google Reader I can pretty easily keep track of all the feeds I read, and with the keyboard shortcuts and automatic loading, skip past the stuff that doesn't interest me. In terms of being able to deal with the volumes, it has much the same effect that reading this post had on dealing with my e-mail.
In answer to the specific questions:
1. I'm not that bothered about the number of items - it's one push of 'J' to go past anyway. The only annoyance is that some of the stuff you link to is on feeds I read anyway, so what is apparently the same posting comes up twice, and of course sometimes stuff that you skip over on the feeds is of interest to me. 2. I've got it subscribed in Google Reader. 3. My link blog is at http://www.google.co.uk/reader/shared/101336379..., and also embedded into my main blog using a Wordpress RSS sidebar widget.

I started using Google reader after you wrote about it about a month (45 days?) ago. I'm hooked now - and I've been adding more to read too - and I like how easy it is to unsubscribe too.

Hey Robert,
I love Google Reader as well. The shared feeds are great in my opinion, but there are some with differing views.
1. On your volume, it is your choice. I'd prefer a slightly more selective list, but then I might miss out on something. :)
1) No, there aren't too many links on your link blog. However, I think I'd really benefit from Google being able to filter out links I've already got in another blog. When a good article comes out and gets linked by everyone under the sun, I see a lot of copies of it.
As to 1, yes, there are too many things on your link blog for a normal person to even browse through everyday. I would concede the fact that perhaps that blog is not for normal people. In which case, by all means, keep up the good work.
I added the link blog to my reader, on your recommendation, early this week. On the first day, I found many an engaging article. I woke up the second morning to find twice my normal volume in my reader. I had to remove your link blog for lack of time.
Cheers,

You usually post a few things a day that I read in its entirety, and 3) yes, I'm a fan of the link blog, and I post maybe two or three items on mine each day, which the few people who read it probably access through the widget in my blog's sidebar. <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/shared/12282865487684982554 ">My Google link blog (mostly environment-related), and its feed

I have been using Google Reader for a month and made the switch from Newgator Online. There are only subtle differences in the experience, but big enough for me to want to stick with Google.
I love Google Reader, it adds alot of benefits. I scan through your linkblog posts on Google Reader and pick out what catches my eye, so I don't think it's too many. Keep em coming.
In true geek fashion, I'm actually programming my own rss reader. It's a really lite, fast win32 program... simple 3 pane style. I'm just adding support for keyword filters which is pretty cool.

I'm still using Bloglines to read my feeds, though I will use Google Reader whenever Bloglines is acting up, which, for some reason, seems to be often now. But it does allow me to have a link blog.
I have about 160 feeds in my feed reader and they generate about 700+ articles a day. I don't have the key shortcuts integrated yet, but plan on adding it some time. My preferred style of reading is to just put it into collapsed articles mode similar to the list view on Google Reader and paging down rather than scooting down the page one article at a time. Similarly, I then expand the articles that might be interesting to then decide if I want to click through.
You get pretty good at skimming article titles after a while. Blogs that I don't like are those like Scripting News that don't put titles on individual posts, leaving you to wonder what is in the article. I'm also not big on blogs that put giant articles in the feed rather than a small piece that you can then read on their site. They're not thinking "eyeballs".

You turned me on to Google Reader when you blogged about it some time ago and talked about your ling blog.
I don't have a personal blog (yet) but I enjoy sharing some links with my friends. Some of us had created a network of shared links :)
1) sometimes a little hard to stay up to date, but always good links. 2) yes, I'm subscribed 3) mine is
I really like Google Reader and use it daily to see many sites quickly. It's the best way to view feeds to date IMO. I'm also seeing a number of referrers on my logs from http://www.google.com/reader/view/
I added the link blog URL to Feedburner.com then used their Buzzboost service to output it to my regular blog. See "almost blogged" at the bottom of my sidebar navigation for the integration.

you put SO MANY up. almost too many, i think. i do enjoy reading it, though.
I consider your link blog to be a daily river that you create for those who need to know what it feels like when reading less than 3000 words per minute.
I forcefeed your link blog to college students new to blogging so that they understand the research imperative. Part of that imperative comes by glancing over the shoulders of others. I appreciate you sharing the stream you create because it's so much fun purging it ruthlessly from my Google reader. I can be ruthless because I know it comes right back in full force! In a twisted way, marking your link blog as "read" consistently produces the satisfaction I need from trying to manage my incoming mail. When I need a boost, I open your link blog, mark it read, and translate the satisfaction over to my unread mails.
Thanks, coach.

1) I don't think you have too many items in your link blog. Although I do think at times the are more links than posts. I would rather have less link blog entries if it meant more Scoble-blog posts. That being said,I'm a Scoble acolyte and I'll read anything you put out.

I check out yours every week or so.
I added the link blog to my reader, on your recommendation, early this week. On the first day, I found many an engaging article. I woke up the second morning to find twice my normal volume in my reader. I had to remove your link blog for lack of time.
Cheers,
2) subscribe using Google Reader and skim very quickly. You usually post a few things a day that I read in its entirety, and
3) yes, I'm a fan of the link blog, and I post maybe two or three items on mine each day, which the few people who read it probably access through the widget in my blog's sidebar.

I'd like to share mine, but I don't like the fact that Reader publicizes my name.

You get pretty good at skimming article titles after a while. Blogs that I don't like are those like Scripting News that don't put titles on individual posts, leaving you to wonder what is in the article. I'm also not big on blogs that put giant articles in the feed rather than a small piece that you can then read on their site. They're not thinking "eyeballs".
I don't have a personal blog (yet) but I enjoy sharing some links with my friends. Some of us had created a network of shared links :)
1) sometimes a little hard to stay up to date, but always good links.
2) yes, I'm subscribed

What do you think?
i use google reader, and have a link blog of my own:

I forcefeed your link blog to college students new to blogging so that they understand the research imperative. Part of that imperative comes by glancing over the shoulders of others. I appreciate you sharing the stream you create because it's so much fun purging it ruthlessly from my Google reader. I can be ruthless because I know it comes right back in full force! In a twisted way, marking your link blog as "read" consistently produces the satisfaction I need from trying to manage my incoming mail. When I need a boost, I open your link blog, mark it read, and translate the satisfaction over to my unread mails.
Thanks, coach.

I have about 110 feeds. No linkblog yet,as I'm just setting up my blog's shop, so to speak.
2) I am subscribed to your link blog through Google Reader.
3) Inspired by you, I have indeed started my own link blog: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/00674013555...
I try to keep myself updated of what is hot and what people are talking in the net, so the amount of feeds is almost unmanageable. Mostly i'll just settle on reading Slashdot :)

I really appreciate your linkblog, but I think you should decrease a bit the number of posts you share.
thanks
