Google announced a new service today through Google Reader that allows users to bundle and share groups of RSS feeds with others. They make it very easy to create a bundle (the best instructions I found were from Lifehacker), but I’m not quite sold on their sharing options. Right now, users can email the bundle to friends, share the bundle as a link on a blog or website, or share as an OPML file. While I may be able to create a widget for the combined feed through a service like widgetbox or sproutbuilder, it seems Google would have built a simple widget that users could just embed where they needed it. Still, this could be an alternative to creating a Yahoo Pipe to combine various feeds–just right now, not a very versatile one.

Here is a link to the Google Reader bundle I created for library resource, blog, and job feeds.
