Reader 2000

Now you can use the Note in R2K bookmarklet to share posts directly from Google Reader to Reader2000!  From within Google Reader, simply click the “Note in R2K” bookmarklet to share the current item in Reader2000.  

If you don’t highlight anything, we’ll share the entire post.  You can still highlight a portion of the post if you just want to share an excerpt.

A multi-use bookmarklet, Note in R2K

• Highlight a portion of the page, click the bookmarklet, and the portion that you highlighted will be the body of your share
• If you don’t highlight anything, we’ll share the entire page, but with the junk stripped out
• Special cases for YouTube, Vimeo, and other multimedia sites allow you to share the relevant video/audio without highlighting anything
• Special case when the page is a single image: no need to highlight anything!

Create your own share from scratch by clicking the “share from right here” link

Follow people by clicking “edit” next to “People you follow”, then finding your friends (we know this will be a hassle as the list gets longer; don’t worry, we’re going to fix it!)

Google Reader’s Regular View or Comment View

Our markdown language lets you format your shares/notes/comments, including embedding images and videos by simply pasting the URLs

Likes for both shares and comments

If you can’t find your bookmarks bar, try going to your browser’s “View” menu and looking for either “Show bookmarks bar”, or a “Toolbars” submenu that has something similar

The YouTube Chrome app has a bug that prevents any bookmarklet from working, not just R2K.  Try uninstalling the app from Chrome.  Open a new tab, right click the YouTube “app”, then click “Remove from Chrome”

Glad you asked, we have big plans for many important features!  Here are a few of the most immediate priorities:

Enhanced privacy settings, so you can control who follows you

Keep track of read/unread items - UPDATE: now keeping track of your read/unread

Better profile pages

Keyboard shortcuts - UPDATE: implemented j / k / l keyboard shortcuts!

Go to http://gravatar.com, and sign up for a gravatar using the same email address you used to sign up for Reader2000.  That’s it! (it sometimes takes a little while for the profile picture to update, but it will!)

• To add an image, just paste in the URL (ending .jpg, .png, etc)
• To add a video, just paste in the URL (YouTube, Vimeo, etc)

• How to add links: (any URL you paste is auto-linked as well)
