Use Siphs to Share Webpages

Siphs is a free online tool that lets you share webpages with your friends. After you sign up at Siphs, you can begin sharing websites with others, whether or not they are Siphs members. To share a site, you can first highlight some text on the page, selecting a snippet of the relevant content you are sharing, then click on the "send via siphs" browser toolbar button. A pop-up window will appear, where you will enter in your friend’s email address. If you have emailed that person before, their email address will come up automatically as you type. You can even set up groups in Siphs in order to share content with multiple people simultaneously. The email recipients will receive an email contains the snippet of text you copied, along with a link to the webpage. Although the ability to send a page via email is built-in to most web browsers, the beauty of using Siphs is that you never have to open your email client or copy-and-paste a link. Additionally, Siphs will keep track of all the links you’ve sent and received through your Siphs account, so you’ll never have to go digging through your inbox to find that interesting article you received many weeks ago.

A few days ago, Siphs also started offering a new feature - link blogs.  A Siphs link blog is a collection of links to articles and videos, along with your commentary posted publicly for the rest of the world to see. To create a post, just click on your “send via siphs” button and select the option to make the post public.  The Siphs link-blogging tool also allows you to fully customize the right hand column. You can embed any widgets or add any custom html code you want. For example, if you have third-party ad code, such at Google Ads or Yahoo ads, you can add it to you link blog and make money. I think Siphs just one-upped Tumblr, what do you think?

UPDATE: The Link Blog feature requires an invite right now. I have 5 available. First 5 to comment get one. (After I get home from my Labor Day BBQ!)
