There is no shortage of content written on leadership. A quick google search or visit to Amazon reveals many opinions on traits, qualities, and definitions of leadership. Why contribute yet another series of articles on such a popular topic? Good leaders are in short supply. I believe the popularity of the topic is a result of the continual leadership failures revealed each week in the news.

Everyone can lead, though some should not. Being a good leader is hard and requires the right set of talent, skill, and character. Do you have what it takes to lead others?
One problem I had with Google Reader is that I wanted to easily tweet my shared items to my friends on Twitter. I found a number of solutions with RSS feed functionality such as Hootsuite and TwitterFeed, but was not happy with any of them. Some items were not tweeted and I wanted more flexibility in the scheduling of tweets and formatting. I also found services like Posterous that are integrated with Google Reader to be cumbersome. I want just want to click “shift-s” to share and move on.
