You bet, that's what we just launched. Here's my blurblog: http://samuel.newsblur.com http://samuel.newsblur.com. You can share directly from a blurblog or in the Feed view on NewsBlur. We're working to make that more visible in some new designs we have coming soon.
- Aissen 14y agoOne thing I loved about Google Reader's sharing ability was the powerful bookmarklet. You could select a part of the text in the page, call the bookmarklet, and have that part only shared in an article. I used and abused this feature to share things from feed I wasn't subscribed too. It's also very powerful for webpage that didn't have RSS. And you could edit before sharing (even the HTML!)! How awesome is that ? All this was lost in the Google+ transition (which pushed me to NewsBlur). The one thing that wasn't lost was the "comment on top" which allowed your followers to see what you thought about the story before reading it. You could also comment after if you didn't want to spoil it (just like in G+/blurblogs). I had only a few followers, but this was the best feed reading experience of my life. (Ok, I also love NewsBlur frame tech that merges content and context). Wouldn't it be nice if the comment were on top of the blurblog share ?
- conesus 14y agoComments on top are something I'm thinking about. Tell you what, in order to continue this discussion, would you mind moving it to a new thread on NewsBlur's community forums: http://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur http://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur. Just give it a good title and file it under Idea. That way everybody else can participate. Also, that bookmarklet is a huge feature I'm working on for the next couple weeks. Thanks for the good ideas.
