Is there a substitute for this google reader functionality?

I would like a bookmarklet that will allow me to "save" whatever web page I am currently viewing, and export a time-ordered list of these bookmarks as an RSS feed.

I use the Share on Google Reader (now deceased) functionality to generate a "Shared Items feed" that I used on my blog.

Is there a substitute that you know of that gives me:

1. One button bookmarklet in my browser 2. Ability to save bookmarks and export an RSS feed

Thanks!

I built a fairly extensive Pinboard plugin that gives you a keyboard shortcut - Ctrl+D - and other options for Google Chrome: https://github.com/josegonzalez/pinboard/downloads

You can then export the bookmarks from your pinboard account quite easily.

Pinboard has the ability to give rss (and json) feeds of a users bookmarks (you can even use the tag share and get bookmarks specifically with that tag) see in: http://pinboard.in/howto/

Other than that there might be easier ways and pinboard does cost an initial sign up fee.

Anyone know of a free alternative? pinboard.in has a charge (not that I am averse to paying it, just that I would prefer free or freemium)

my thanks to josegonzalez and wx77 for their comments. I will check out pinboard. Thanks!
