Google used to have a really nice feature in the Reader. You could use a Chrome plugin to post a link to the Reader, make some comments, and then connect that submission to the Reader in this Blog. This was great way to share information and - this is most important - keep a record of these finds for future reference. It was like a post-it note board or like the pages I have in my notebook where I keep ideas for future work.
But Google removed the feature, has some less-than-obvious way to do (not do actually) the same (close to the same) in Google+. Which I don't use and can't actually figure out why I would.
I poked around with TypePad. They haven't figured this out yet. Then I saw some Blogs and web sites , with a streaming twitter window. Ta Da, got it.
I moved all (or most) of the Google reader entries to this Blog through a gadget in Twitter. Now we're back to finding cool things, tweeting them, and capturing them in the Blog for future reference. There is lots of flak for Google doing this. Maybe another example of Google misreading the users. I see no reason to have removed the feature. It was useful, handy, and cleaver. It's gone and have a dissappointed user.
Enjoy and workaround.
