With Google Reader, it's basically one-click to do the equivalent of "re-blogging". And Google Reader works very well on the iPhone.

The that's existed is that no one looks at my "shared items" from Google Reader. The URL is a bit ridiculous: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/14315407964795872442



They really need a unified Google profile that displays what's going on with Google Reader, etc. very clearly. And give it a decent URL.
