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!

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.

Got feedback? We welcome your comments and insights! Let us know what needs improvement!

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.

Sorry for the radio silence, Smub fans! We’ve been hard at work on some new offerings in the realm of instant social media sharing. More news as it develops, I promise!

Today, however, I am pleased to announce that we’ve made it possible to permanently remove the Smub banner that appears when you follow a smub.

To remove the banner, simply click the the little arrow next to the Preferences tab on the Smub banner. A little window will pop up asking you whether you’d like to permanently hide the Smub banner. Check the box and click Validate; the banner will disappear and will not show up when you follow a smub in the future!

Enjoy!

Smub now supports sharing and posting to three additional sites: Google Bookmarks, Diigo and Newsvine! This brings us to a grand total of 17 sites to which you can instantly share your links!

Got a favorite site we don’t support yet? Please let us know and we’ll do our best to get it added to the list.

If you’ve been using Smub to bookmark and manage your favorite tweets, you’ll find that you can now retweet them directly from your MyBookmarks page!

To use the new retweet function, just sign in to your Smub account and go to your MyBookmarks page. Select the tweet you’d like to retweet and click the Share button. The retweet icon will be the first one on the left!

This is just another way we hope to make sharing your online life even easier! If you’ve got ideas for improvements and new functions, please let us know. We’d love to hear from you!

P.S. Don’t forget that Smub also provides Twitter profile information with every bookmarked tweet. Sweet!

If you’ve followed a smub lately, you may have noticed a new addition to the smub banner that appears at the top of the page: Smub Tips!

We’ll be rolling through many tips you’ll hopefully find helpful when using Smub. If you got a tip or trick of your own for using Smub, please let us know! We’ll write a little post about it and kick it over to the tips bar!

We’ve added useful info to every smubbed tweet! If you’ve got smubs that point directly to tweets — for instance, as a means to Managing Your Favorite Tweets — from now on, viewing these smubs will not only provide you with the original tweet, but also provide you with the profile information of the person who wrote it.

To illustrate, I saved one of my personal favorite tweets (written by @cactus) at this smub: “http://smub.it./mariethebee/cactus.fav.” Now, when I view it, Smub gathers information from Twitter and displays it alongside the original tweet:

Now I don’t have to click over to Cactus’ profile page for more info; everything’s right there in front of me!

This is particularly useful when sharing smubbed tweets with your friends and family who aren’t familiar with Twitter. It gives them context as to the who, the what and possibly even the why of the tweet you’re sharing with them.

Since so many smubbers use Twitter, we’ve working on extra functions that address common Twitter behaviors. As of today, we now have a new option for Retweeting with Smub!

When smubbing an individual tweet, you’ll now be given the option to retweet it immediately. The retweet icon will appear right beside the bookmark icon at the top of the Smub interface:

Once you’ve clicked the retweet icon, Smub will automatically populate your tweet field with the standard “RT @name” syntax and the content of the tweet you’ve smubbed. Be sure to double check your character count, of course! The 140-count rule still applies, even if you’re tweeting from Smub.

Need help isolating individual tweets so you can smub them? Don’t worry, it’s easy! When viewing your tweet stream from Twitter.com, simply click the time stamp shown directly beneath the tweet you’d like to smub. This will open the tweet up in a new page. Since this new page has its own unique URL, you can smub it just as you would any other link! Be advised: if you’re viewing Twitter.com from your iPhone, in order to click on timestamps, you’ll need to be using the standard interface. This option is available when you login to Twitter on your phone!

In previous releases of Smub, there was a bit of problem when using Cyrillic and Japanese characters when tweeting. Smub was displaying “????” rather than the correct characters. We are happy to announce that this issue has been fixed! If you’re having any additional difficulties, please let us know so that we can address them immediately!
