Finally, I have an update for you.

Based on more than 360 survey responses about how my readers use bookmarks and favorites, I developed a site where we can post our own bookmarks (either privately or publicly) and access them from any computer, anywhere.

In addition to the being able to access our bookmarks and favorites from both home and work, the site is a wonderful community to share our favorite links with each other. And so, I named it:

SharingLinks.com

The site is nearly complete, but now I need your help. Will you be one of the first users? Will you try the website and tell me what you think? If your answer is “Yes,” you will need to sign up for the mailing list, in order to get your Invitation Code.

As a community site, SharingLinks.com needs users, not just visitors. I hope you will join us, but at this time SharingLinks.com is limited to INVITATION ONLY users, so you will need your invitation code to sign up.

P.S. Have you received your Invitation Code and tried the SharingLinks.com site? If so, please post your comments here.

Hi. I’m Barbara Feldman, and today’s video topic is how to install and use the Sharing Links Firefox toolbar. But we are going start at the end, because first I want to show you the toolbar, and then I will show you how to install it.

The Toolbar consists of two buttons and a function on the right-click context menu. The first button (this SL button ) will take you directly to your bookmarks, so they are always a single click away.

The second button (the sharing links kid) will pop up an add bookmark window, making it easy as pie to add a bookmark from anywhere on the Net. Here’s a little secret… whatever you highlight will go directly into your description field.

The last part of the toolbar is the right-click context menu, which is for those of us too lazy to move our mouse all the way to the buttons on top. It is called “Bookmark at Sharing Links” and it does the same as the second button .. It opens an add bookmark window. And of course, the highlighted text trick works here too. Whatever you highlight will be added to the description. To install the toolbar, open Firefox and go to sharinglinks.com/toolbars. Scroll down to Firefox Toolbar, and click “install the add-on.”  You probably will get a security warning near the top of your browser  Click “Edit Options,” “Allow” and “Close.”  Now click “install add-on” for a second time.  Now restart Firefox, and when the browser re-opens you will see your two buttons.

Today’s video topic is how to install and use the Sharing Links Internet Explorer toolbar. But we are going start at the end, because first I want to show you the toolbar, and then I will show you how to install it.

The Toolbar consists of two buttons and a function on the right-click context menu.

The first button (the SL button) will take you directly to your Sharing Links bookmarks, so they are always a single click away.

The second button (the Sharing Links kid) will pop up an add bookmark window, making it easy as pie to add a bookmark from anywhere on the Net. Here’s a little secret… whatever you highlight on the page you want to bookmark will go directly into your description field.

The last part of the toolbar is the right-click context menu, which is for those of us too lazy to move our mouse all the way to the buttons on the top of the browser. It is called “Bookmark at Sharing Links…” and it does the same as the second Sharing Links kid button. It opens an add bookmark window. And of course, the highlighted text trick works here too. Whatever you highlight will be added to the description.

To install the toolbar, open Internet Explorer and go to http://www.sharinglinks.com/toolbars. Click on Internet Explorer Toolbar … and choose SAVE, SAVE, then RUN, RUN, NEXT, INSTALL, FINISH.
You might need to restart Internet Explorer at this point, and then you’ll see your two Sharing Links buttons and the right-click context menu function.

And that’s it! Enjoy!
