Dragonl, I like your ideas. I just want my shared items pushed to the networks of my choice automatically and in close to real time.Jeff and Steve, I hope they will eventually make this feature better by doing something along the lines of what we are suggesting.

When I first tried the "Send To" feature, I was expecting to be asked for my Twitter username and password. I was surprised when I was sent to Twitter with the dialog box already filled out. Seems like it would be just as easy to be able to send or share directly from Google Reader.

I agree I really like the idea but I think not having it just automatically post it was a big loss. maybe they will change that.I do like the idea though.

I posted the following suggestion on Matt Cutts site, http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-reader-adds-send-to-feature/. Still waiting for my comment to be approved!"Thanks Matt and the Google Reader team for the feature!Suggestion: Change Send To to be easier to use. Rationale – currently it takes too much time to send Shares to multiple services. In my case, Facebook and Twitter.Here is what I think that could improve things:1. Use a modal or popup2. Add a checkbox beside each service selected via Settings3. Add a Send and Cancel button.4. After person checks the service(s) to send to and clicks Send, automatically send to the selected services. Not sure about this one because I’m not sure what data is sent to each of the services, i.e. DeliciousWhat do you think?Thanks,@DragonI"
