Share This - A Neater Approach To Social Bookmarking
3 04 2007Did you know?
An off-blog reader’s comment made me think I perhaps needed to tell you about my neat social bookmarking plugin:
Share This by Alex King. Share This is a very popular Wordpress plugin that lets you share any post/page with others by posting to social bookmarking sites.
You can also email posts or pages to friends, or in fact to anyone with whom you’d like to share them.
Share This was one of the plugins I installed in February, as a tidier approach to social bookmarking, which means that though I still have them, I deactivated my string of pretty social bookmarks and replaced it with just the one.
Until you click on the Share This icon, however, you may be unaware that all those social bookmarking icons are neatly tucked away underneath it until you want to use them.

Here’s the Share This icon:
And here’s how it looks when you click the Share This icon. Clicking on E-mail will allow you to send the post/page you are on.
Enjoy!

oh, I had it all this time but didn’t know that all the icons where under the icon. I have share this AND Sociable plugin. Guess I can take one off now, since they’re both the same. Thanks for posting this!
Jan - You’re welcome. Weird isn’t it? I had seen it for a long while before I installed it. The person who helped me was saying that it’s a better way for social bookmarking and I wondered what on earth he was talking about. until he showed me. Wonder how many other people are unaware.
probably more than you’d think.

You’re probably right
Hm, no Simpy? You’ve got to have support for Simpy! See http://simpy.com/
Thanks for stopping by Otis. I had Simpy in my Sociable plugin. I’ve checked it out a couple of times, but am not convinced right now that it’s a great loss not having it…if it does become one though I’ll be sure to raise it!
