Google has just made a new entry into the social bookmarking world with a service called “Google Shared Stuff”.
A previous attempt was the Google Reader Shared Items feature that lets you share interesting feed items.
Here is how to get started with Google Shared Stuff using Mozilla Firefox:
Step 1
Sign in Google Shared Stuff with your Google account.
Step 2
Either drag the Email/Share button into your browser’s bookmark bar, or right-click on the button and “Bookmark this link…”. (screenshot)
Step 3
Find a link/article that you would like to share, and open it in a new tab/window.
Step 4
Either click on the Email / Share on the bookmarks bar or on the bookmarks list, depending on where you added it on Step 2.
Step 5
On the pop-up window click on the Share button. You can add some comments as well or change some of the default options. (screenshot)
Step 6
Head back to the Google Shared Stuff starting page and click on “View your shared stuff page”. Now you can see the shared item that you have just added. (screenshot)
Step 7 (optional)
You can enter some details on your profile, and start sharing your shared items RSS feed with friends. (screenshot)
