Another All in One Bookmarking Site

Jan/07 in Online Apps, Web Development Tutorials

There are a few all in one bookmarking sites for users and web developers out there, and I am ready to toss in a new one for you to check out.  OnlyWire is here to give you one more way to share your content easily with a browser plugin, or a web site badge.

Link Sharing with OnlyWire

Using what they promise to be an optimized platform for enhanced performance and reliability, OnlyWire looks like it has all the bases covered.  You can submit your web site instantly to places such as:  ask, bibsonomy, blinklist, bluedot, bookmarksync, connotea, delicious, diigo, facebook, furl, googlebookmarks,  jumptags, linkatopia, multiply, mywebyahoo, newsvine, simpy, spurl, technorati, and twitter.

You can also use the limited service for free, or pay for more features:

  • “Pay” version — use fully-supported OnlyWire “ad free” by paying $2.99 per month or prepaying for 1 year ($24.99) and saving 30%. Pay customers are encouraged to embed
    the Bookmark & Share Button on your website to drive traffic and backlinks. You will also have the option to turn off OnlyWire advertisements.
  • “Promote” version — use fully-supported OnlyWire for FREE by adding the Bookmark & Share Button to your website or blog. You still enjoy the same functionality as the “Pay” version of OnlyWire, but promote the continued operation of the site through advertising.

Another interesting service they provide in an API to work with, to help you get yourself submitted to a number of different places automatically.

All in all, it is another alternative out there to some of the other “there can be only one” bookmark or link sharing sites out there.  If you are looking to auto-submit your bookmarks, give OnlyWire a shot.
