Google reader improves sharing-still not mobile

Image via CrunchBase, source unknown In case you were waiting to get yourself involved with google reader and RSS feeds in general, google reader introduced granular sharing. You can now set up groups of people to share with. For me, this was never a huge issue, but there were people that thought it was a big deal.

I know that I sing the praises of Google Reader. The truth is that I love RSS in general and the sharing aspect of Google Reader a great addition. There are other features that I would like to see (such as an easier way to make my RSS feeds into a downloadable/syncable 'newspaper for my cell phone'). I'm considering giving bloglines or newsgator a try. Potentially even a (GASP) desktop based RSS client.

Update: I've noticed that newsgator has a mobile version that syncs with its servers. I'm definitely going to give this a try and will report back. First impression: I'm not a huge fan of the online RSS reader.
