Posting, sharing and bookmarking links from your iPhone is even easier with the “smub it” bookmarklet! The “smub it” bookmarklet gives you the same easy-to-use interface that you would get by typing “smub.it/” to the left of the http, but simplifies the process by allowing you to “smub” a link with just a couple of clicks.

So, how do you get the “smub it” bookmarklet onto your iPhone? The easiest way is simply to install the bookmarklet to your desktop version of Safari, then sync your iPhone with your computer, making sure the “Sync Safari bookmarks” button is checked under the Web Browser section on the Info tab of your iPhone menu under Devices in iTunes. Phew…. that was a long sentence! How about I walk you through it, step by step?

Many of you already know how to send your own tweets directly to your Facebook page as a status update or as a feed. But, did you know that you can “retweet” your friends’ tweets to Facebook without having to download a client or having to install a Facebook app simply through the magic of Smub? I’ll show you how!

When you’re logged in to your Twitter account and viewing your incoming stream, go to the tweet you’d like to retweet and click on the time that it was posted (displayed directly beneath the tweet)….

Clicking on the time stamp will open the tweet up in a new page. The URL for this page is the permanent address of the tweet. Since Smub works with any URL, all you have to do now is smub it! To smub the tweet, you can type “smub.it/” before the “http” portion of the URL, or use the handy bookmarklets, toolbar or right-click function found on our Tools page.

Once you’ve smubbed the tweet, the Smub interface will pop up, showing all the different places you can share your new retweet:

To share your retweet on Facebook, just click on the Facebook icon. From there, you’ll be taken directly to Facebook’s interface where you can update your status using your retweet!

There are so many ways Smub can make sharing your online life even easier, but here’s one you may not have thought of: using Smub for sharing your Flickr photos.

Right now, if you wanted to share a photo you’ve uploaded to Flickr with one of your other favorite social networking sites, you’d have to go to the photo’s page, copy its URL and paste it into the entry field of the site to which you’d like to post. This may not sound like too many steps off the bat, but when you’re posting to a site that limits the number of characters you can use, like Twitter, for instance, you have the additional step of pasting your photo’s URL into a link-shortener, copying the new URL, then pasting that into the entry field, etc., etc..

Of course, using Smub can really streamline this whole process, particularly if you’ve installed one of our Tools, like the bookmarklet, toolbar or the right-click-to-smub function (shown above). With Smub, all you have to do is navigate to the page of the photo you want to share, use the Smub shortcut of your choosing, and — Ta-Da! — you’re instantly sharing the photo, including it’s automatically shortened URL, with any of your favorite social networking sites.

It’s just another one of the multitude of ways you can use Smub to make sharing simpler. Got some favorite shortcuts and uses of your own? Please let us know! We’d love to hear from you!
