How to Add a Google Reader Badge to Facebook
As part of Google's April Fool's Day pranks in 2011, Google created a website outlining the Google Reader ReaderAdvantage Program. The program allowed users of Google Reader -- an application that allows users to read all the daily websites they wish to on a single feed -- to earn badges based on how many points they earned based on their time on Google Reader. The prank was such a success that Google actually sent out a limited number of badges. If you have one of the Google Reader badges and wish to display it on your Facebook profile, you can take a photo with it and post that under your profile photos.

Tips & Warnings
If you want to post a link to your Google Reader's public page -- the page where all the articles you want to share with others appear on a single feed -- copy the link and paste it under the "Websites" section of your Facebook profile, under "Edit profile." Google Reader does not have an official Facebook app as of September 2011.
