Share folders of feeds publicly: like Google Reader Bundles
Google Reader had the ability to share folders of feeds publicly (as "Bundles") so users could share unique content sources by topic area. This curation allows new users to quickly get plugged into a topic, and can help experts/social media managers to discriminate sources to interested parties.

I'd love to share the feeds I subscribe to!

would like to see the folder sets available each as its own rss feed mashup of all the feeds in the folder. Like the 'share' feed.

Now that Google Reader is officially dead, so are the feed bundles that were displaying on my library's subject guides. Please implement this feature!

I would love to share the list of science blogs I follow, and have it constantly update!

Yes! Currently the API requires OAuth authentification, but if it is removed this need would be directly available with the current http://theoldreader.com/reader/atom/user/publicId/label/Folder

I use this feature with flipboard (eye candy). I can still use google reader with it but it is now very restrictive so I'm looking for another service to do the same.

This would be really useful—I used this feature a lot in GR to feed categorized material into various outlets (FB pages, Twitter, LinkedIn etc) with a narrow and specific focus. This both minimizes the amount of time I need to 'curate' the feeds and avoids annoying people with a constant stream of largely irrelevant updates.
BTW, thanks for saving me from Google's inept decision to close down Reader!

I am still scrambling to find a service that offers this feature, and I've yet to find any. Additionally, I'd need it to allow individual items from other feeds to be added to the public feed as well. Feedly sees this as "conceptual bug," but I know there are a lot of users who need this functionality.
Please, TOR, include this before Reader goes away. Otherwise, my curated feed will break with no alternate way of provisioning it to its subscribers.

I personally wish this feature had not appeared in Google Reader at all. Then I wouldn't have relied on it.
I did two things with this: I posted relevant news items to my blog using a little feed display widget, and I shared news items with my wife where she was the only person subscribed to the feed, so it was essentially a form of sharing but only with 1 person. An actual feature that did that would be better.

I need this badly. My website shows articles of feeds that I follow in Google Reader. Please add this feature before Google Reader shuts down.

I use bundles to feed more blog feeds to a paper.li paper than they allow.

I use bundles as a librarian to share groups of subject-specific journals on our subject guides. Really really would like to be able to create and share bundles publicly!
