Embed.ly

It's not Google, but it can certainly help you share your Google Docs, etc. easily!

Embed.ly allows you to easily embed your blog posts, webpages, or other information into other sites/blogs by creating an embed code for you when you enter a URL.  It also makes sharing your information easy as it includes a "re-embed" button (like retweeting) and an option to share on Twitter or Facebook.

Below, I share a Google doc I created with brief information about Boolean searching.  You can see the "re-embed" and share buttons in the upper, right-hand corner of the card Embed.ly creates.  You can also select to see the original source of the embedded information.
Boolean Searching - Google Docs
The embedded card below is from the electronic resources page of this website.  If this were embedded on the school website, it would give students an easy link to the databases we offer here at Northern without having to remember my web address.  
Electronic Resources
Embed.ly's embedded cards have a clean look that does not clutter up a page or blog post.

Another nice feature is that you can include an embed button to your blog.  This will allow others to embed your pages/posts when you share something particularly useful.

To use Embed.ly, just go to embed.ly.
