My Blog Leaderboard – It’s All About the Sharers

greader Over the weekend, Louis Gray posted on his blog “Roll Your Own Blog Leaderboard With Google Reader Trends.” After seeing his article, of course I had to look at My Google Reader trends, too. A couple of things immediately jumped out at me. One, I’m guilty of self-promotion and My Google Reader trends certainly reveal that. Two, some of my top shared items are from other people’s shared items. I’m a re-sharer!

Let’s take a look at whose items made my list. Here is the stuff I share:

The reason why some of these items say “Recommendations” and some say “Items Shared” is due to the Feedly Firefox plugin. If you haven’t already heard, the Feedly plugin taps into Google Reader and gives you access to anyone’s Shared Items, even if they don’t appear in your Google Friends list. This is extremely useful since the only way to be “Google Friends” with someone is to either email with them or chat with them. But with Feedly, you get immediate access to anyone’s shares, just by following them on Feedly.

For example, if you want to see my shares, follow me here: http://www.feedly.com/feedly#preview/user/15218633955327620808/state/com.google/broadcast

If you’re using Feedly and share tech/social media stuff, I would like to follow you too, so please leave your Feedly profile URL in the comments.
