Social Bookmarking Uber Tools
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
Have you ever wished you had a team of massively underpaid interns that, every time you posted an article on your site, would go to all the social bookmarking sites and add your story too it.
That would be Spamtastic wouldn’t it?
Wish no further, now there’s Only Wire where you enter your login and password for this list of bookmark sites:
- Backflip
- Blinklist
- Blogmemes
- del.icio.us
- Feedmelinks
- Furl
- Jots
- Linkroll
- Looklater
- ma.gnolia
- Maple
- Markaboo
- Rawsugar
- Shadows
- Simpy
- Spurl
- Wink
Then you add a bookmarklet to your browser, and then with one click you can spam add the page you’re on to all 17 sites at once.
Sounds great…but then check out the terms of service:
You agree to let OnlyWire bookmark the http://www.onlywire.com site AND the OnlyWire Sponsor site on each of the bookmarking services you are participating with. OnlyWire will only bookmark the Sponsor site link one time.
So what this means is that every time you submit a story, Only Wire piggybacks a couple of its own sponsor links into your account. UGLY business model. Lesson: read the Terms of Service before signing up for stuff.
I’d have to say stay away from this one…unless you live on the dark side.
This one [Add This] looks a little more creditable.
TagBlitz allows you to offer your visitors a way to add your articles to just about every possible bookmark site very easily. You only need to place one bit of code on your site, when the user arrives at TagBlitz, it offers the ability to add the page they came from to almost any bookmark site. Try it right here, it’s cool.

Separating the useful from the spam…so you don’t have to.
