As I’ve promised yesterday, today I’ll take a look at three tools used to make your life easier when it comes to mass social bookmarking.
OnlyWire
My new favorite, OnlyWire is a tool that you can use to automate all your bookmarking efforts. I have some concerns regarding them though. First of all, they say that they will be bookmarking on your accounts up to 3 sponsor links. They don’t mention however if the links are adult, gambling, pills or other categories. So, I’ve decided to make new accounts for all the social bookmarking sites that they cover and use new passwords only for this purpose, just to make sure nothing unpleasant happens.
After testing the service with 4 accounts entered, I can say that it works. One save and it bookmarked the article with the specified tags on all 4 services that I entered. Right now they cover 22 social bookmarking sites, so it can save you quite some time by doing it automatically.
Social Poster
Social Poster is the first tool of this kind that I’ve heard about. It offers help with bookmarking to 49 social media and social bookmarking sites. It was upgraded lately, so it caught up with the options offered by Social Marker, and right now I think it’s the winner between the two, simply because it offers more sites to bookmark to. The options are the same as far as I can tell.
You can bookmark your link in all those sites, but you also need to make accounts with all of them, so a bit of elbow grease is involved both for registration and for the social bookmarking itself.
Social Marker
Social Marker came after Social Poster, and for a while it was more advanced. After the Social Poster upgrade though, they both have the same way of saving the bookmarks, using frames and buttons to Register, Login, Submit. Social Marker comes short in the number of social bookmarking sites though, with just 32 on the list, so my favorite remains Social Poster when it comes to manual bookmarking.
Conclusion
All being said, OnlyWire seems a fantastic choice as long as you make new accounts, to use just for this purpose. I wouldn’t risk my normal accounts and I wouldn’t use my normal passwords on it, simply because I don’t know what kind of links they will save on them.

Than you for this post. I just wrote an article called “You Should Only Manually Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites … Or Should You” … http://www.socialnetworkingarticles.com/2007/11/08/you-should-submit-manually-to-social-bookmarking-sites-or-should-you/ … I was wondering what your opinion on the article is. It gives points on why you shouldn’t use social bookmarking submitters, but they tells you how to utilize social submitters if you absolutely have no time for manual submissions.
