Unless you understand the context of the content, you\u2019ll want to have a check point before you share it. <\/p>\n<p>To insert this check point into your curation process, you can leverage the power of <a href=\"http:\/\/reader.google.com\">Google Reader\u2019s<\/a> Shared Items along with dlvr.it. This will let you post interesting content to all your social networks with a single click in Google Reader. And you&#8217;ll enjoy all of dlvr.it&#8217;s measurement and analytics.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to set up. <\/p>\n<p><strong>1.
