Oficina cibernética del Dr. Moisés Orengo-Avilés: 10 Cool Google Reader Buttons You Can Use to Post Feed Content

10 Cool Google Reader Buttons You Can Use to Post Feed Content: "

The Google Reader team has been rolling out features one after the another to make it more social and fun to use. We always love functionality that has room for experimentation and clever tricks. Be it the auto response in Gmail or the new Google Reader ‘Send-To’ menu.

The Google Reader Send-To button lets you post feed articles to Twitter, Delicious, Blogger, Posterous, Digg, Tumblr and more. If you have not done so you need to go to your Google Reader settings then to the ‘Send To’ tab and choose the sites/services you want to enable. There are already 10+ services and sites you can choose from, however the real action lies a little below.

You can create your own custom menu entries to do all kinds of interesting stuff with the feed articles. Let me explain how:

Google Reader offers you certain placeholders viz MakeUseOf.com, 10 Cool Google Reader Buttons You Can Use to Post Feed Content, http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Makeuseof/~3/jBzpQAxco6U/ and which represent the Site, Title, URL and shortened URL of the feed entry you are currently reading. So if you would like to search for the title of the current entry on Google you could easily use the syntax:

http://www.google.com/search?q=10 Cool Google Reader Buttons You Can Use to Post Feed Content

So as along as the site/service you are planning to add allows you to play with the URL you can easily create the menu entry for it.

Here are some examples you can add. (Some sites may not like hot linking to images/icons):
