After the Friday-night announcement that Google would be making it easy to see your friends’ Shared Items feeds in Google Reader, I started waiting patiently for the list to auto-populate with the Shared Item feeds of my GMail contacts. I added Robert Scoble, because, well, I kind of had no choice, but other than him and one other friend (who reads far too many Gawker sites for my taste), it appears that no one I know is sharing their Google Reader items, if they even use it at all.
But I won’t let this feeling of loneliness overwhelm me, especially during the Christmas season, so I’m putting a request out to any of my readers to add kevinmichaelkeating@gmail.com to your GMail contact list. I’d love to get an idea what you’re reading across the web and discover some great new stuff.
And don’t worry, I share only a handful of articles every day, so you won’t need to worry about getting overwhelmed by my generosity.

See I don't understand this. I've emailed you before, and you haven't shown up in my Friends shared list.
Otherwise OK, maybe the person has to be an official contact in your GTalk list. If so, I don't even know how to add a contact in this manner, without sending them an "invite."
Confused old me.
You're forgetting about all the buzznet livejournal sites I read with usernames like xxxmrzstumplovaxxx xemoprinzess60598473x who post top ten lists of the famous boys they want to kiss.
;-)
Yeah, confused a bit here too. Though maybe it's because you emailed my @frivolousmotion.com address? But I find it hard to believe that none of my other contacts use Reader - maybe they do have to be GTalk, not just GMail.
Bailey, your antics keep me well entertained, even if I'm embarrassed to admit it!
