Google Reader evolving into a Social Networking Site?
by Sukhdev Singh 06 May '08

06 May '08

That is not a news, but my wild guess!! Just wondering whether Google Reader (a RSS Reader) <http://reader.google.com/> is gradually evolving into a Social Networking Site? <http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1335211/social-networking-site> It has now improved its Sharing options. It has become easier to share your favorite sites with your friends <http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2008/05/share-anything-anytime-anywhere.ht…> . It provides for a "Share in Reader" link that can be dragged and dropped in your browser's bookmarks bar. Once that is done, you are ready to share your favorite sites or the sites you just discovered. Select a relevant portion of the site you wish to share through Google Reader and click on "Share in Reader". (Well text selection is optional, but it is also better to be focused). A window will open up with title of the site being shared with selected text already filled. Now just put your annotation (yet another optional step) about the site (your friends might like to know as why you are sharing?) and click "Post Item". You have now shared an item through Google Reader. You can email the links of shared items to your friends, share through your blog (ready to add clip in Blogger available) or copy and paste relevant HTML snippet in your site. Will Google Reader continue to add such features and evolve into a Social Networking Site? It can add profiles, favorite contacts, communities, pictures and all that stuff. With all these usual social networking stuff powered with shared knowledge (sites), Google Reader could become "Google Wisdom" for a participating virtual community. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear friends, I am Manimekalai Working in Annamalai University Library (Engineering) and was contacting so many persons for my research work. Unfortunately some persons were misusing my ID by asking money stating I am in South Africa and Nigeria. It is a Hoax mail, kindly ignore the mails which are coming through the ID a.manimekalai(a)gmail.com Some how the person is misusing and asking money in the name of mine. AS I was busy in my PhD work, i could not take enough steps even to mail this intimation to all since i could not access my Inbox itself. It made me upset and I kindly request all the superiors and my friends who had helped me for my academic work to ignore the mails in the name of mine. Some of my friends ranged up to me and checked whether it is true or not. Dr.A. Manimekalai, Asst. Librarian( Sr.Sc) Annamalai University ( Engineering Faculty) Thanking you, -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
