Publishing Feeds from Google Reader

Having lost the ability to publish rss feeds in Google Reader, an alternate method of publishing is needed. The web addresses of published feeds display the label at the end of the url;

• http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/03256507980052811175/label/nym

The last ( green ) word in the address can be changed, to access any label applied in Google Reader. The public can view that published feed if they have the url.

Notes cannot be created manually in Google Reader, but full rss feeds from blogs hosted at blogspot.com can be subscribed to and assigned to a folder in Google Reader whose web address displays the name of that folder as a label at the end of that url.

This message was created at http://nymstips.blogspot.com/. It is also published as a shared item from Google Reader, but not in the main Shared item stream.

Google Chromes Inline Translate Extension for Google+

Don't limit yourself to reading posts from only the people who speak your native language. An extension for your Google's Chrome Browser translates any post in just about any language.

Each Google+ item has three buttons at the bottom; +1, Comment and Share. Google Translate for Google+ puts another button next to them; Translate. When someone posts an item in a language that is foreign to you, just click on that button and it will be translated, inline for you to read in your native language.
