New: Select Your Favorite Sharing Sites

Posted by Marie in Smub, Updates on March 16th, 2010 | No Comments »

Your Smub profile page has been freshly revamped to serve you better.

You can now select your favorite social networking sites and have just these sites displayed when you click the Share icon on the MyBookmarks page.

Though Smub supports many different social networking sites, you may find that you only use a few of them on a regular basis. Selecting your favorite sites for sharing cuts down on the clutter!

New & Improved Bookmarks Page

Posted by Marie in Smub, Troubleshooting, Updates on March 16th, 2010 | No Comments »

The latest release of Smub means big changes and great updates for your bookmarks page!

You’ll notice that the layout of the bookmarks page has changed slightly with this release. There’s a new column that indicates the types of content you’ve bookmarked, from videos to audio to docs and applications. There’s also a preview window for the bookmarked content.

Smub will automatically recognize the types of content you’re bookmarking and add a handy little icon when appropriate. Smub currently recognizes the following content types:

In addition to all this, Smub now has statistical reporting on all your bookmarks!

To view the stats for any bookmark you’ve created, simply select the bookmark from you bookmark list, then click on the stats icon at the bottom of the page. Click the buttons at the top of the stats display to toggle between Clicks, Operating System, Browser, Location, Sharing Locations and Referrer statistics.

Improved Keyword/Tag Management

Posted by Marie in Smub, Troubleshooting, Updates on March 16th, 2010 | No Comments »

With the latest release of Smub, we’ve improved tag management across the board, whether for smub creation, in the Smub plugin or in the tag list and tag clouds.

Now, when you’re adding tags to a smubbed link, Smub will automatically suggest some of your previous keywords/tags. Just click the appropriate tags to add them to your link.

The same goes for the keywords/tags when using the Smub plugin. Just point and click to choose your tag!

When you’re logged into your account, you’ll notice that we’ve also improved tag browsing, whether by Cloud or by List. The Cloud option displays your most frequently used tags in descending order of use. The List option displays your tags alphabetically.

Hey, Smubbers!

If you’ve created or followed a smubbed link lately, you may have noticed some changes to the look & feel of the Smub banner. Hopefully, you will like it a super bunch, but please feel free to let us know what you think.

You may also have noticed that we now use OAuth for logging into your Twitter account — just trying to simplify the smubbing process for you.

Additionally, we’ve done some bug fixing for smubbing from iPhones, particularly in regard to emailing links.

As always, please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any comments, questions or observations. We’re here for you!

Talk to you soon!

Update: Smub Toolbar Autocompletes Your Shortcuts!

Howdy, Smubbers!

Everyone at Smub has been busy working on a brand new and very exciting offering! It’s hush-hush at the moment, but we’ll be able to share with you soon!

In the meantime, we’ve got a brand new, handy update for you! If you’ve been using the Smub toolbar for Firefox and IE to access smubs, you’ll find that the latest update allows the shortcut field to automatically complete your smub, based on the first three letters you’ve typed in! This is particularly handy if you can quite recollect the shortcut you’re looking for, but have some idea of what it may be!

ENJOY!

The Smub-It button is now live on two exceptional sites: L’Equipe.fr, the website of France’s most popular sports magazine; and CRAFTzine.com, website of “the first project-based magazine dedicated to the renaissance in the world of crafts.”

From now on, at the bottom of every article or post on L’Equipe or CRAFT, you’ll see our little Smub-It button. What’s the Smub-It button you ask? It’s just a little button that allows you to share the page you’re viewing with any of the social networks that Smub supports (17, so far!) with just a click. Here’s the Smub-It button now, as displayed on L’Equipe:

We are absolutely ecstatic that L’Equipe and CRAFT have chosen to include Smub for their readers’ link-sharing needs. We really hope you’ll check out both sites, as they’re absolutely brimming with news, information, tutorials and projects!
