I wouldn't fancy going through your starred items and sharing them though! I doubt there's an automatic way to do it.

Just as @dana mentioned you can share the posts and then put a shared widget into your sidebar text widget on Wordpress. I have one here http://bryceraley.com I think it's a very nice service for your readers, especially ones who don't even know what a reader is. Many of my readers still manually visit the site or come there from my weekly email newsletter. They are not blogging but will use your blog as a filter for their news and info. David,

However, my problem with this is that the links I want to share come from multiple sources inside and outside my RSS feeds. This is my solution: http://www.member-to-member.net/social-insights-tweet-feed.html. The brevity of the Tweet format forces me to internalize what I think is important as I pass it on and does not allow me to overthink it (at which point it becomes a blog post that gets only 1/2 written and dies amid the flood). I don't really even care if others subscribe to this because the discipline of publishing it benefits me. All in all, this whole "limited brain capacity" thing sucks.

Pipes. Cool App. I like how flexible everything is, but I don't think I can integrate it into an external web page. As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) I think all of the Yahoo! Pipes content stays with Yahoo! However, thanks for the tip! :) @Luke – Just checked out Yahoo! Pipes.
