Webmasters and bloggers that want to publicise their content often add links at the footer of their website that allow posting a link to a social bookmarking site like del.icio.us, digg.com, reddit, ma.gnolia and others. But with the increasing number of social bookmarking services in use, and webmasters that want to support all of them, those litte icons are slowly taking over your website. (See David Trowbridge's blog for an example).

But there is relief: With Share This Link bloggers and webmasters get the opportunity to support many social bookmarking services at once by linking to Share This Link which is a meta-social-bookmarking service that forwards the bookmarker to her favorite service.

Share this link is heavily inspired by Alex King's Share This Wordpress Plugin, uses the icons provided by the Share Icon Project and was written using Apache Cocoon in one afternoon.

So, it is time to act now:

  1. Share the Share This Link page with your favorite social bookmarking service
  2. Clean up your blog template with Share This Link
