If you want to export, backup or share your Google Reader feeds<\/strong>, there’s a very quick way to do it without the need to install any third-party software. All you have to do is open your Google Reader account and go to Reader Settings<\/strong>. Click on the Import\/Export<\/strong> tab, and you’ll be able to export all your feeds to a standard format called OPML<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simply send this link with your friend (or save it as an XML file to your hard drive) and you’ll be sharing just the contents of that folder.<\/p>\n
