Shareaholic Firefox Extension

January 30th, 2008 | Published in Bookmarking, Firefox

The Shareaholic Firefox add-on is an extension that adds a menu to Firefox that lets you submit web pages you find on the net to several different bookmarking sites or social networks with just a click or two. Some of the sites you can submit your link to include digg, del.icio.us, facebook, friendfeed, Google Bookmarks, ma.gnolia, mixx, stumbleupon, reddit, tumblr, and twitter. You can also use Shareaholic to email your web page to a friend. What’s nice about this extension is that you can use it to determine a web page’s popularity, too, as it will show how many times the page you are on has been dugg or saved to del.icio.us. Since it’s designed to let you pick-and-choose which site you want to submit items to, your submissions would have to be shared to one site at a time. If you would rather submit to multiple sites at once, you may want to check out the Mahalo toolbar instead. Shareaholic works with Firefox 2, 3 (beta), and Songbird.
