Apparently anyone can subscribe to an RSS feed, so if you have some that you don't want people to have access and others that you do want people to have access to, you have to publish individual papers. At least that's what I got from playing with it. Am I wrong? That’s what I talking about, but I couldn’t get it to work until I made the document public by publishing it.

I saw another article about Zotero as well, for academics to link and share their research notes on the web, which also sounds quite similar to your academic social software idea. So many possibilities, so little time :) Yes.
