RSSmeme Starts A Sharing Explosion!
Jun 23rd, 2008 by (jeff)isageek

One of the sites I use on a daily if not hourly basis these days is RSSmeme which up till recently took Shared Items in Google Reader to track recent or popular stories…but that all just changed.

Benjamin announced on the RSSmeme blog today that the service will now start tracking Delicious, Digg, Diigo, FriendFeed, Google Shared Stuff, Magnolia, Mister Wong, Mixx, Netvibes  and StumbleUpon.   (with reddit hopefully added soon.)

How do you get your stuff shared?   Its easy just either sign up for a friendfeed account or add one of the services to your friendfeed accounts and you are in business.  That simple.

I think this is an awesome addition to the service and another way to follow whats new and hot out there on the interweb.

RSSmeme vs. Readburner – Which Do You Use?
May 9th, 2008 by (jeff)isageek

I am a huge user of Google Reader, Shared Items, Linkblogs, and so on and have been really happy with services like RSSmeme and Readburner that are taking users shared items from google reader and making some great sites in the social news arena…better then sites like digg and mixx in my opinion.

My issue so far though with both of these services has been which do I give my most time to?  Do I use both?  It has been a tough question….but I have to say RSSmeme has taken the lead as of late due to their addition of notes (a new feature within google reader) and also RSSmeme allows you to create a custom rss feed of stories shared via your friends on friendfeed which I think is a really kool little feature to have.

update: as I am writing this post I see where benjamin (who created rssmeme) is looking for someone to write a wordpress plugin that will pull all of the notes for an article out of RSSmeme and onto your blog.

So what do you all think?  Which are you using?  What do you like/dislike?  Lets discuss (or disqus).
