blogging instead of google reader

google reader is great for reading RSS feeds, but it lacks many social aspects. Sure, you can share your thoughts or other's posts on your greader blog, and your friends can get your shared items, but the direct link to your shared items is always something ridiculous like http://www.google.com/reader/shared/01265451620713717669 and there is no way to comment on the things others have shared, so if you want to comment on a friends comment, you have to reshare the post.

A friend pointed out that friendfeed.com is similar to google reader but with the social aspects, and it is nice, but I think from now on i will share my thoughts in an actual blog.
