Sharing Content in Another Stream

by Justin Levy on January 21, 2010

On a daily basis I will generally run through between 400-800+ feeds.  Of those, I share the top posts, usually around 30 or so, that I think will be useful for you.  Realizing that a majority of you don’t follow my Google Reader feed or may use a different feed reader, I wanted to provide another option for you to access those articles.

Sure, I push my Google Reader shared items through FriendFeed and I share a handful of posts daily through my Twitter account.  But, seeing that the majority of my community hangs out in Twitter more often than most other services, I wanted to be able to share with you through there.  Therefore, similar to what Louis Gray (@lgshareditems), Robert Scoble (@scoblemedia) and Chris Brogan (@broganmedia) have done, I have created a new handle on Twitter: @jlevymedia.  This will be, as Chris calls it, a pure stream of the content that I share or produce from around the interwebs.

Besides trying to provide you with, what you will hopefully find as a resource, what I like about having this Twitter account is that it allows me track all of the links that I share through Google Reader in Bit.ly.

While this might not be totally useful as of yet, it will still help me to gauge whether or not the info that I share is useful to you.  As time goes on I will tweak what based on feedback and stats such as Bit.ly clicks, retweets and more.

If you think it will be of interest to you, I hope that you’ll come join me over on @jlevymedia.

  • The potential for this is great. I hope it works out as nicely as you hope it will. I will be checking back frequently, I think it'll help a ton of us keep us.

    Thanks Justin.
  • That's a really smart idea Justin. Will be interesting to see how this works out and if it's something to keep at!
  • I've adopted Louis' technique as well. I created @tsudoshares as a broadcast account that shares my Google Reader shares via Reader2Tweet, RSS feeds, and diigo bookmarks. I think its a great idea.
  • Absolutely! I also really like the fact that I'll be able to see analytics
    on the links that I share!
  • Reader2Tweet is a good product, and sharing via Reader makes sense. Go for it.
  • Thanks for stopping by and waving hello! Hope you're doing well, sir! :)
