Google Reader's Shared Items
I use Google Reader. It's not as fully-featured or as fast as some local clients, but it works fine and is available everywhere (which is of course, a great boon). It does, however, have one feature which is probably solely the domain of online RSS readers: shared items. Many weblogs consist largely of "me-too" content: posts which contain little beyond a link to another post which caught the authors fancy. Unfortunately, that results in a sort of RSS-spam. I'm certainly not interested in trivial references, just give me the real stuff!
So, here are my shared feeds. The page also contains an RSS feed, so you can consume its goodness intravenously. It was a specific post, something that's an absolute must-have for all web-developers, which finally convinced me to start sharing. ;-)

The best thing is that in Google Reader, and probably any other decent client, you don't get to see an item twice if you're already subscribed to a feed, and it also appears in a shared feed. I agree that this really is a killer feature.
