    The ability to post to delicious is interesting, although I have a FF extension that easily let me do the same thing.

    I really wish Google would a) integrate this service with the Google Reader sharing function (which is so obvious that I assume it must be on the way soon) and b) allow people to add a line or two of text when sharing a link/feed item. I often wish I could briefly comment on the stuff I want to share, without having to go to the trouble of actually posting it to my blog.

    Late followup:
    Having now used the shared items thing, I think it is pretty good. I've had trouble getting it to work with Firefox for some reason, but the functionality is decent. I see now that I can, in fact, write a little descriptive/critical text to accompany the link.

    If they could get a little bit better at picking what, if anything, to include as the preview (for example, they could allow you to select text and click on the linklet to use it as your preview), I'd be a big fan.

    And like I said before, they MUST merge this with Google Reader's sharing function (including the option to add descriptive text). At that point this will be a pretty useful tool.
