Become a trusted advisor

Step 4.
Now that you are so up-to-date, you can share what you know with your friends and colleagues alerting them to articles and events that are of interest to them.

Many newsreaders have a feature that enables you to send on a useful clipping to other people. Be selective about what you are forwarding - the last thing you want is to annoy others with hundreds of emails, but if you choose wisely you can provide timely and informative news and become a trusted advisor.

Look for an email link or button, or in a desktop application a menu item or option that will open your email application and insert the contents of the feed's post/article.

If you are using a web-based service, consider sending it to yourself first and then forward on to your friend or colleague. This way you will have a copy in your sent items folder in case you have to follow up. You can then customise the message to add your own commentary about the information and your own signature file will be included.
