You may
have noticed the last couple of posts on my blog are direct takes from other sites. In fact for both of these I took advantage of the new "send to" feature in google reader.
This send to feature is one that I have wanted for a while. The previously available function to "share" is too much of a blunt instrument. There are some posts that I pick up from blogger that are work related and others that are interest/social and still others that are mere curios.
"Send to" provides the ability to choose where I want to distribute the post to. Much better; or at least it would be if it worked properly. Sadly; "send to" works fine for blogger, facebook and even tumblr; I just cannot get it to work for twitter. Gah - so frustrating !

u p d a t e
the reason "send to" doesn't work to twitter appears to be that the twitter dialog causes a pop-up that google chrome (my default browser) automatically blocks. A very discrete (clearly TOO discrete for me) message is shown at the bottom right of the window, clicking this msg allows me to click through.
So a "send to" twitter takes 6 clicks, instead of the 3 clicks required for tumblr, facebook or blogger. Not great but I'm pleased that it does at least work.
