iFeedReaders

For a while there, the Social Bookmark Creator and Chicklet Creators were broken. Not sure when that happened, but they are all fixed and back in working order!

Two new buttons have been added to the social bookmark page: Tumblr & Uvouch.

Tumblr is a cross between blogging and social bookmarking. You can easily add text, video pictures and more to any page with the click of a button. Think blogging, or slimmed down with no real maintenance.

Uvouch is a social site to save links and videos. Kind reminds me of YouTube with a few more features.

If you add an iFeedReaders social bookmark button to your site, you can give your visitors instant access to all the options on the social bookmark page. Or, add the bookmarklet to your browser to give you instant access to the social bookmark options from any page you browse to.

The new an improved bookmarks page is now live. This version includes a few button additions including NShout, Squidoo and Suttle to name a few.

The best part about the new bookmarks page as it’s driven by a database. With everything in a database, I’ll be able to pull it out in to the social bookmark creator tool. But that’s a project for another day.

It also allows anyone to quickly add social bookmark services. Any services added though the ‘Add Service‘ form automatically get put into a database, but not made live. Then I go in and just have to approve them. All the code is already written to display the buttons and it should help keep the bookmarks page fresher.

If you are using one of the iFeedReaders bookmark buttons, you automatically get to take advantage of the new bookmark page. If you don’t have a button, consider grabbing one.

Flogz is the latest button to get removed as they have moved away from the social bookmark scene.  Looking at my forms, there may be a few others to clean out.

Two bookmarklets are now available to quickly access the iFeedreaders bookmark, or subscribe page.

Install the ‘Bookmark This’ bookmarklet and whenever you come across a webpage that you’d like to save, just hit the ‘Bookmark This’ bookmarklet and you’ll be transported, along with the page information, to the iFeedReaders bookmark page with all the pre-populated social bookmark buttons.

Install the ‘Feed This’ bookmarklet and whenever you come across a raw feed, just hit the ‘Feed This’ bookmarklet and you’ll be transported, along with the feed information, to the iFeedReaders subscribe page with all the feed subscription buttons pre-populated.

There are a few issues with the ‘Feed This’ bookmarklet as IE7 doesn’t like it at all and Safari (with RSS capabilities) doesn’t send across quite the right URL. However, it does work great in Firefox.

Check out the iFeedReaders bookmarklet page.

Feedback & suggestions are always welcome.

Adding a feed reader or social bookmarking service just got easier; on me.

With the help of WuFoo, I’ve created a form to collect all the information and store it in a database so I don’t loose requests in my inbox.

If you have a service you’d like us to add, just fill out the Add This Service form and I’ll get to it when I can.

The list of social bookmark services continues to grow. Today we added nine new services to the social bookmark page. These services include:

StumbleUpon

Yardbarker (Sports)

Wykop (Polish)

PopCurrent

Mister Wong (German)

Favorri (Turkish)

Hatena (Japanese)

Diigo

Britney (Music)

Those that are already using the iFeedReaders bookmark button will immediately get to take advantage of these new buttons. They will be making their way to other tools as I get time.

I just found out that My-Tuts has closed so the button has been removed.

It’s sad to see the sites go, especially ones that seemed unique.

iFeedReaders as just updated the single subscribe and bookmark buttons to include code for Blogger, Wordpress and Movable Type. With the blog specific code, the buttons can be added to your templates and the code auto generated.

This is a really good thing for the social bookmark button as it can be included in the post loop and the bookmark code will be automatically generated for each post. For an example, look at the bookmark buttons below all the posts on the iFeedReaders news site.

If anyone comes across any bugs or has any questions, let me know.

Thanks

A week ago we launched the new version of the Chicklet Creator and the Social Bookmark tool. They’ve officially been moved to iFeedReaders from TwisterMc and are a part of this growing site.

Both tools now offer more services, with more services yet to come.

The Chicklet Creator comes with a few new options including a CSS drop down menu to help people save space on their blogs.

The Social Bookmark Creator also has a drop down menu, but it’s not CSS based. Instead it’s form based and works quite well.

I hope to make it though all the updated services by the end of the month and get them added to all the tools.

Also, a new version of the Chickelet Creator Wordpress plugin is on the way with a much more user friendly configuration scheme.
