From Google Reader to Posterous with a Click

Posterous continuous its innovation march, letting you instantly send items to Google Reader with a single click. Don't count RSS readers out yet. I suspect Google Reader will soon add features that make it easier to read and reply to Tweets too.

This is fantastic. Thank you so much for the info. Will you be using the feature or will keep it to one blog/lifestream entry a day?

@Paul I totally will be using this - and to post more too.

To be transparent, your decision to move over Posterous got me thinking about doing the same. However, I'm wary of posting too much and "swamp" people who read me. You're a great inspiration thank you.

There is a new tool that converts your list of Twitter followers to an OPML file where you can import it into your Google Reader. Read about it at http://bit.ly/1CDcAz This is the kind of thing that is right up your alley.

I tried the tool, and it works. The best thing about it is that you can use Reader as a quasi follower directory if you need to search for the name of one of your followers.

Now *that* is too cool. Been begging for this from Google Reader for a long time. Thanks for flagging it up Steve
