Love the idea. Similar to http://readness.com except not automated.

I'd personally hate all my reading (including shit I open but do not like/read) to be shared on my account. Having control over what is shared is good IMHO.
I'm pretty sure readness waits for several minutes before scrobbling what you're reading.
I'd find it more interesting to see what general reading habits it uncovers rather than a simple 'share' button.

yeah this is opt-in, as opposed to opt-out. you only click the bookmarklet for links that you think are interesting and worth sharing

Request: include a title attribute on links that has the full article title. That way when something gets shortened and has the ellipsis at the end I can just hover over the link to read the whole thing.
Hmmmmmm.... Any chance of a google chrome extension button? I dont have a bookmarks bar!
We're definitely thinking about this. Stay tuned.
Humph.... Signed up and lots of random people started following me. Thats what I hate about twitter. I am not here to make friends, I am here to share with my contacts.
Request: Private profiles and only share with my followers.

What does "our hackday" mean?
truly innovative! reduces time and effort in sharing documents!
This seems to be exactly what I use FriendFeed for (I pretty much only use FF's bookmarklet). So this is like FriendFeed, but stripped down?
1.) I'd love to use this.
2.) I cannot use because this because it requires a Facebook login.

isn't this what twitter is (or at least should be) about?
Twitter is about any kind of status update. Readshout is focused only on the links that you're reading. I know it might sound like a small difference, but user behaviors can change dramatically based on how people are primed.
I also don't like sharing every single interesting link I find on Twitter, but I wouldn't mind doing this on Readshout.
