Mahalo Share FTW
Chris Finke sent around an email this morning stating that Mahalo Share is now a recommended Firefox add-on! If you haven’t tried Mahalo Share, or don’t know what it does, here is a description ripped from the Mozilla site.
Share and recommend Web pages across many different services; recommend a link once and have it automatically posted to any of Twitter, del.icio.us, MySpace, Ma.gnolia, Jaiku, your Tumblr blog, Facebook, Pownce, StumbleUpon, Mahalo, Faves, or Google Bookmarks. Press Ctrl+Shift+S (or Apple+Shift+S) to share the page you’re viewing. (There is a toolbar button as well.) Then, fill out the form that pops up and check the services that you want to post to. Mahalo Share will automatically post your link to all of your services. If the services you are posting to go down (as Twitter often does), Share will save the link it was sending and try again later. When this happens, an icon will appear in the status bar to notify you. As of version 1.3, you can store your account passwords with Mahalo so that you can use Mahalo Share on more than one computer without retyping all of your account information. Just click the checkbox titled “Link my login data with my Mahalo account” in the Mahalo Share options dialog.
Update: garthk on twitter asks: @rays, what are Mahalo Share’s benefits or hazards vs Shareaholic?
So Chris Finke gave the following answer:
- benefits: it auto-submits to each service, without you having to take further action for each one
- shareaholic just opens the submit window for each service, pre-filled
- drawbacks: doesn’t have as many services, doesn’t give you statistical information like shareaholic does
