Publish Your Shared Items from Google Reader

You don’t always have to use the Publish2 bookmarklet to publish links. You can have Publish2 automatically import links to your Shared Items in Google Reader. Publish2 will periodically look at your Google Reader page for newly shared items and import them into Publish2.

Become a Link Journalist for Technical Communication

Writer River is a collaborative social news site that allows technical communicators to both find and share links to interesting content they find online. As more people contribute to the site, the more engaging the site becomes.

Getting Started

Rather than use Writer River as the interface for publishing links, we use Publish2, which is a link sharing platform. Publish2 provides you with a bookmarklet that allows you to add links to Publish2, or you can automatically import your shared items from Google Reader into Publish2.

Add Links Using the Publish2 Bookmarklet

When you’re on a blog post or article that you find interesting, you can add a link to Writer River using the Publish2 bookmarklet. The bookmarklet is a little window that opens up with information about the page you’re reading automatically inserted into its fields.
