Twitter Integration and Inline Email Commenting

Last week we launched two new features in Sharein.

The first is Twitter integration. You can now share links not only via email but also via Twitter. We’ll take your link and shorten it using our URL Shortening Service at tr.my. So anytime you see the tr.my link you’ll know that it’s a Sharein link. What we like best about sharing via Twitter is that you can get more insight into how people are consuming your discovery. We track total views, retweets and mentions of your posting and help you better understand how viral your discovery is.

The second is inline email commenting. Previously you had to go to the content and access comments via the ShareBar at the top. Now you can reply to comments directly from within your email client. For example, if you received a share at your GMail account, you can respond directly by clicking on Gmail’s “reply” button.

There are plenty more features coming including Facebook integration. We postponed this just a little bit further on account of Facebook’s new Open Stream API. We are anxiously waiting for the API to get out of “beta” before we launch it. Stay tuned.
