New Facebook Sharing and Bookmarking

One month after the launch of Sharein and we’ve completely revamped our Facebook functionality! We knew our ability to share links to Facebook was the weakest point so we dedicated all our resources to making it the best in the market today. We hope you’ll enjoy it.

Facebook Connect

First and foremost, is the ability now to sign up and log in with your Facebook profile. No more additional username and password to memorize. Use your existing Facebook profile and we’ll take care of the rest.

If you have an existing Sharein account already, make sure to link your Facebook account first to take advantage of all the cool new Facebook features.

Two-Click Sharing

Facebook sharing is now as easy as our Twitter sharing function. Only two clicks to share to your Facebook account. Again, make sure to link your Facebook account to Sharein first in order get this functionality.

Thumbnail of Webpage

Now when you share to Facebook we will retrieve the actual thumbnail of the webpage. So you can now preview the image before hand. We believe this visual cue is superior to Facebook’s current implementation.

Digg and Tweetmeme Integration

When you share a link on Facebook, we include the total number of Diggs the article/video has, as well as the total number of re-tweets as tracked by Tweetmeme. We believe this will increase the likelihood of your friends clicking through.

YouTube Video Integration

We do the same value-add for YouTube videos as well. When you share a YouTube video on Facebook, we now allow in-line viewing of the video from within the Facebook page. In addition, we provide additional YouTube information such as ratings and total views.

Facebook Interation Statistics

When you go to the summary page of your shared article, you can now view any “likes” and comments that your Facebook share has accumulated. Sharein now captures and saves all these information for you as the one single point of capturing all the interactions when you share to Facebook, Twitter and email.

Bookmarking

In addition to revamping our Facebook functionality, we’ve also enhanced our bookmarking abilities.

Easier Navigation

Navigation to your bookmarks is now much easier and faster as we’ve moved bookmarking to be a top-level navigation item by its own right. Previously it was buried under the “My Shares” section.

Tagging

Tagging has also been greatly enhanced. You can tag your favorite shares in-line.

Importing Bookmarks

You can now import your existing bookmarks from Delicious, your web browser and other sites that standardize their bookmark export page.

Phew. That’s all we did in one month. We’re very excited with this release and we hope to hear more from you on how we can further improve Sharein and make this tool truly the best way to share links to friends, family and customers.
