We both have to thank John Larkin for showing me how to do this as I didn't realise it was possible. I'm also like you and had to put my blogroll onto it's own page because it was way too long.

I currently have my shared G. Reader on this site and FriendFeed, but haven't put it on Twitter yet. @Louise, Talia, and Ken - I'm so happy that my post helped you out, I just like to pass on anything that I find really helpful to my daily online routines, like Sue did in her post that I referenced above! @beebo - very interesting regarding twitter feed, I’ve never thought of doing that!

For years I mucked around with bookmarks and folders. I had picked up about RSS Feed but never really went there. Then only a few weeks ago I read from posts by Michele Martin and Sue Waters about Google Reader. When I think of the hours I must have wasted . . . It's so easy now. But your also right about hitting the little orange top when viewing a new and interesting site. I now do it as a matter of course and edit under Manage Subscriptions to get rid of the ones I don't want to keep.

I just <a href="http://beesides.tumblr.com/post/31855868" rel="nofollow">penned</a> a piece about Google Bloat. I have way too many feeds to ever read, but I feel that I'll hit upon things that will interest me this way. Anyways, I love how easy it is to share to twitter, although I took a bit different of an approach than you. I love Greasemonkey, don't get me wrong. However, I feel that too many of those scripts running are not always a good thing and that if I can find a way to minimize them, the better for my browsing experience. I set up my GoogleReader share page, which aggregates everything I share and has an RSS feed, through <a href="http://twitterfeed.com/" rel="nofollow">twitterfeed</a>. This way, I just click on share in GoogleReader and my share is popped into twitter via twitterfeed. I do this same thing with my Flickr account and my blog as well.
