Isn't that public sharing only?
You can click +1 and then click on the grey "Share on Google+" to select to which circle you want to share.
The +1 is public +1 which not all of us want to do.

Well, create a Tag, get that Tag's feed from its Details and Statistics page, then your friends can subscribe to it as any other feed.
That's not the same. You still can't add a note and your friends can't comment on the item, for starters.
You can add multiple tags, so you could had your well-known "Shared" tag and then a comment as tag.

#53How do I turn my friends' Google+ posts into RSS that can be consumed by Google Reader? Google+ does not seem to advertise RSS feeds.
Someone wrote an AppEngine service [1] to transcode Google+ to RSS, but they shut it down after Google raised the AppEngine feeds.
Re: New in Reader: a fresh design, and Google+ sharing
#54Back in 2007 I built a social RSS reader called Feed Each Other ( http://feedeachother.com ). It was actually pretty good, but I had to give up on it because I ran out of money, Google Reader was slowly stealing all my features, and I found it very hard to convince people to switch from GR. It had stuff like: - "Circles" aka, letting you group your contacts however you like and see what each group shared with you and…
hey, I'm willing to try it.

A Googler on the G+ developer group said that atom support is planned. Until then there is:

#56The no-sharing/discovery thing has hit me hard. If anybody out there has a social RSS reader start-up, feel free to reply to this and advertise your service. I will drag my friends to it along with me. (Yes, I use Twitter, Instapaper, news aggregate sites, etc. Yes social software has changed how i would otherwise discover links/news. But I still need an RSS reader, and the passive sharing in old Google Reader is a l…
I can't agree more. At least they allow us to download our data as JSON file. I used the sharing feature a lot. I just downloaded my shared-items.json file and it is 56.3MB large!
I already tried Tiny Tiny RSS and NewsBlur but I don't really like them. There's rssLounge left, I'll try it tomorrow if I have enough time. Does anyone knows another one of these opensource webapp feed aggragator?
For now, I'll continue sharing using icebraining tips (to create a tag).

#57Overall, with the minimalistic Greasmonkey script, it's not bad. One thing that I don't like is that in expanded view, there is no visual indication to differentiate read from unread items. In list view, read items are grey. Why didn't they do something similar in expanded view? I keep having to look over at the unread count on the left.

We are working on startup: http://intigi.com. You can subscribe to your RSS or Twitter feeds and then filter the feeds by your interests (i.e., using keywords).
In terms of social features, you can make any interest public and share it with others. You can also follow or fork any of the public interests (like Github).
We are in early stages with the social features (and overall product) and would really appreciate any feedback/input! You can email me at mjfern@intigi.com or use the feedback button throughout the site.
Thanks in advance!

That's still a half-solution. What if I want to make a multiline note?
Also, that doesn't solve the problem that others can't comment on the shared item.
