In Google reader(R.I.P) we could select some interesting links by a special tag and then make public them and show links on our blogs or websites.
Is there a way to create this by Google reader alternatives like Inoreader or Feedly or AOL reader or etc?
I should probably start by saying that I'm the BDFL of Inoreader, but I feel obliged to answer you. If anyone thinks my answer is inappropriate or that this can be achieved with one of the other mentioned options, feel free to bash me in the comments :)
Yes, you can do that in Inoreader.
Since you are familiar with Google Reader, you shouldn't have much difficulties starting up with it, but if you have, here's a quick guide to get you started.
Depending on what you need to achieve the option you want is accessible via right-click on a folder or a tag:
Then in the dialog that pops up, you will see an Export option. Click it and you will get 3 links - for RSS feed, HTML page (what you need) and a public OPML file (for folders only):
A few notes on folders and tags:
Folders are used to group sources (RSS, social and other feeds) and content inside them is automatically populated from the feeds.
Tags on the other hand are mostly manually populated by you. When you read an article and you find it interesting, you can press "T" or click the label icon at the bottom of article to tag it. This behavior is almost identical in all major RSS readers. Working with tags in Inoreader is covered in detail in this blog post.
Now I said mostly before, because tags can also be automatically populated by Inoreader's Rules. Basically they works like your email filter. You can set up keywords or other conditions and tag articles automatically as they arrive. This feature is covered in this blog post.
Hope this helps!

Do you know, how to add open graph parameters to specific URLs on my site using Google Tag Manager? I couldn't find anywhere answer on that.
Thanks a lot!
No unfortunately not. Unlike Google where it's become a lot better in the last 3 years at using rendered JavaScript content to pick up code generated by tag managers - Facebook sadly hasn't advanced this far + will only pick up content in the actual HTML.
See this blog post (in Dutch) for guidance: http://vlcm.be/2017/07/open-graph-metatags-google-tag-manager/
So unfortunately when it comes to OGP and Twitter Cards you'll have to add them the old fashioned way.
I've got a site that has multiple share buttons on entries in a WordPress site.
We designed this so there are no individual entries to view, they're Podcasts and videos. The listing page has a minimum of 10 entries, each with share buttons.
Currently the share links and titles are working correctly. But the page is not recognizing the og:image, and instead is picking up the default logo for the site itself.
I read another post on Stack Overflow that said it might be an issue for LinkedIn if the image is utilizing SSL for the link. But I just find that hard to believe.
The other issue I'm struggling with, the docs say once an image is scraped it stays cached for approximately 7 days.
I had an issue with FaceBook and there's a debugger that allows you to rescrape the page which let's me verify my changes worked.
My two questions are, is there something other than the og:image i should be specifying? since I can't specify it per post, it's in the head of the page itself, i would think it would pick that up. No?
Second, is there a way a developer can re-check after the meta info has been changed to see if the changes worked, without having to wait the TTL on the cache?
try this:
url/link?blah=1
url/link?blah=2
url/link?blah=3
to get around the cache.
This should trick it into thinking its a new page each time.
Can i get a link to test?
Anthony Walz posted the correct answer. Through email he also helped another problem i had which corrected a new issue i didn't realize I had until i looked.
my LinkedIn shares were not picking up the show title, they were picking up the page description instead (i have several podcasts showing on one page, we don't use individual post pages, they all play from the listing.)
he pointed me to the developer docs on formatting sharing links
Which gives a real world example - here:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://developer.linkedin.com&title=LinkedIn%20Developer%20Network
&summary=My%20favorite%20developer%20program&source=LinkedIn
Thanks a ton for assist Anthony!
we have an author that wants to be able to easily bookmark various articles and have them appear in a wordpress backed site. Over the years we have been using a cobbled together approach where we use the delicious toolbar and it feeds to a google reader. They bookmarked using these tools and we used wordpress to consume the rss feeds they produced. Now google has removed this feature.
Im hesitant to add yet another bookmarking/rss service out there for fear that I will be back to this problem in 6 months. I was thinking of writing or finding a simple firefox addon that would just create a link or blog post based on the url (and possible scan the html or css). It seems like this is a common problem, any other ideas or suggestions on how to solve this? I proposed just having our author use wordpress admin to add links, but that was too cumbersome.
Have you tried the "Press This" bookmarklet that comes with WordPress? It's on the Settings → Writing menu. Just drag it up to the bookmark toolbar in your browser.
Will the Googlebot "click" buttons on a Flex 3 site when it indexes it?
I've got a Flex 3 site. When the user clicks one of the buttons on my site, a panel opens and text appears. As the text is not immediately visible, will Google index the content in the panel? (I'm not cloaking or anything weird. It's just the normal functioning of the site).
Are there any Flex 3 developers out there who see Keywords listed in Google Webmaster Tools for text that is visible only after clicking a button?
Thank you.

Straight from google itself:
Q: How does Google "see" the contents
of a Flash file? We've developed an
algorithm that explores Flash files in
the same way that a person would, by
clicking buttons, entering input, and
so on. Our algorithm remembers all of
the text that it encounters along the
way, and that content is then
available to be indexed. We can't tell
you all of the proprietary details,
but we can tell you that the
algorithm's effectiveness was improved
by utilizing Adobe's new Searchable
SWF library.
Q: What do I need to do to get Google
to index the text in my Flash files?
Basically, you don't need to do
anything. The improvements that we
have made do not require any special
action on the part of web designers or
webmasters. If you have Flash content
on your website, we will automatically
begin to index it, up to the limits of
our current technical ability (see
next question).
That said, you should be aware that
Google is now able to see the text
that appears to visitors of your
website. If you prefer Google to
ignore your less informative content,
such as a "copyright" or "loading"
message, consider replacing the text
within an image, which will make it
effectively invisible to us.
In short I haven't actually seen this working on my own projects (though I don't target SEO) Adobe acquired Omniture an SEO company recently and the people at Google are smart, so I don't doubt this will be progressing nicely in the near future, more info and experiments can be found here:
http://www.flashnseo.com/
http://www.omniture.com/en/
I don't think there is a clear answer to this one since it's in flux and Google can't disclose exactly how their algorithms will work, but as stated in the other answer here I'd imagine if the information is still represented as text in the swf, they'll find a way to dig it up, in terms of how your site will handle deep linking, that's still on the developers (although I've got my fingers crossed that between Adobe and Google they're able to ease the pain on us).
Right now, when I create a media item, I can view it as admin by going through the Media then clicking on view, eventually I end up at [mysite]/blog/?attachment_id=31 which is a nice reduced version of the image (which can be clicked to appear large), and which has the nice feature that there is a place to leave comments at the bottom.
This is great for administrators. But I want anonymous users to be able to look at 5 different, fairly similar images, and make comments on the pages separately. So I'd like for the anonymous users who navigate to [mysite]/blog/?attachment_id=31 to find the same page the way it looks to admins.
But when going to that URL as an anonymous user instead of the image with comment form I get:
Sorry, no posts matched your criteria
So, how can I enable this permission for anonymous users?
If this is not possible, please rephrase the question as, "What is the best way to use Wordpress to get a bunch of anonymous people to vote on 5 different layouts and also to be able to comment on each of them separately, as I am trying to do at http://christian-filipina.com/blog/ ? (None of these are public URLs, please don't link to them.)
Do I need to create a page for each of those separate layouts and then use HTML to link to the variously-sized versions of the images?
When adding an image to the post make sure that "attachment page" is checked instead of "image file" This should fix your problem. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Image_and_File_Attachments
