Supercharge Google Reader with Send To Links

Since Google Reader added custom “Send To” controls to its feed reading prowess last week, we’ve been looking for the most useful links to feed it. Here are nine excellent send-to tools you can add to Reader, with more on the way.

“More on the way” because, despite trying to keep our eyes and feed readers in as many places as possible, we’re guessing there are a lot of other great URL-friendly webapps that can be hooked into Reader, as these crowd-sourced examples have already proven.

To install one of these Send To items in your own Reader, head to your Settings link from Reader’s main page, click the “Send to” tab, then hit the “Create a custom link” button at the bottom. You’ll be prompted for a Name, URL, and Icon URL, which you can simply copy and paste from these entries.

Know of a web service, a bookmarklet, or any other webapp that can accept text or items through its URL? You can easily set up a Send To item to feed items from Reader to that webapp. Reader lets you automatically include URL-friendly variables from feed items
