[fr] C'est tellement facile de partager des liens sur Facebook et autres que je finis par ne plus le faire sur mon blog, parce que c'est laborieux. Il y a un moyen plus simple?
Today, when I stumble upon an interesting link, I share it on Facebook. And usually also on Twitter. And on Google Plus.
It’s easy. More often than not, I found the link in question on Facebook, Twitter, or G+. Resharing on the same platform is two clicks maximum. The link is expanded into an excerpt and a photo which are nice and pretty and often spare me having to write any kind of introduction to the link (I do, sometimes).
Sharing on other platforms? At the worst, copy-paste (goes quickly when you use keyboard shortcuts and know your way around your browser tabs). Or the bitly bookmarklet.
Sharing on social media is rewarding: people are there already, they comment, they like, they reshare.
I pull quotes out of what I’m reading with the Tumblr bookmarklet and post them to Digital Crumble. That in turn gets sucked into Facebook, to the annoyance of some and the delight of others. Super easy.
You know what’s not easy? Collecting a bunch of interesting links I’ve found recently into a blog post on Climb to the Stars. That sucks. I’ve done it at times, yes, but I do wish there was an easier way to do it than copy-pasting article titles and putting links on them, after having let them pile up in an Evernote note until there were enough of them.
I’m sure there is a way to do this more elegantly. Tell me!
Looking for a similiar solution right now, and stumbled upon some curation tools like curationsuite.com. I haven’t tried it so far, but curious, if someone has experiences.
Wait till the end of the week, I’m doing an extension for that 🙂
Ah ah I find myself looking for the button to like your comment, Marie-Aude 🙂
I’m using Postalicious (WP plugin) to harvest links with a particular tag on pinboard.in and create a post (plenty of examples on the achurchassociates site, all titled starting “Interesting stuff from …“) … it polls an RSS feed, and is relatively painless … even though it all seems a little old-school 🙂
My rationale for the bookmark-style posts is at http://achurchassociates.com/2011/03/a-quick-word-on-bookmark-posts/
If Marie-Aude comes up with a simpler way, I’ll look at it 🙂
