Google Reader Shared Items
The time tested, sharing features of Google Reader still apply. Some of this information in my shared items is quick hits, that I don’t have anything to add opinion-wise. Simply things I think you may find interesting. Things included span from social media, to gadget/mobile devices, software, opinion/editorials, and cultural/social topics.

Posterous
I’ve set up a Posterous account, like many folks, and post items I’ve read and may be relevant to folks I know, or that may be in social media professions and have interest in technology as well. This is a bit more focused than my Google Shared Items.
Reading Lists
I’ve got a number of reading lists for myself and for peers at work & clients. I currently use three lists, though I’ll try to narrow that down in the future.
Read It Later – This is a list that I use as I find links from Twitter, or from other social media resources. The topics cover social media in general and a bit of mobile technology. FYI, this is an RSS feed.
Instapaper – This is a list of things I share for peers at work and clients. This list is social media specific, and focuses on business use, communications, marketing, PR. FYI, this is an RSS feed.
FriendFeed – If you want the firehose, this is it. It’s basically my lifestream of all online services and content.
I also happen to use Google Reader Starred Items though there doesn’t seem to be a way to share that list. It, of course, is the list of things I have marked for my personal consumption. Hopefully I’ll get to all of them.
I try not to duplicate shared or bookmarked items, though it could happen. I hope this helps in your daily reading and information-gathering efforts. Maybe if I pre-read and filter out the nonsense posts out there, these will be of more value.
What tools for sharing information and links do you use?
