Submitting your content to a bunch of social bookmarking communities such as reddit, digg, and delicious by hand sucks. Below is a list I’ve aggregated of some pretty decent web applications to submit your website’s links to social bookmarking communities with.
Ping.fm
Ping.fm was the very first web application I ever used to submit my website/blog posts to social bookmarking websites. They don’t support all of the communities I personally need it to, but they say they add more regularly.
“We post your messages wherever you want!
That’s right, we support over 30 social networking sites and we’re adding more regularly.
Between our straight forward posting methods and advanced custom triggers, we make it easy for you to post your messages exactly where you want them to go.”
Social Poster
I’ve just recently tested this web application out, and I appreciate it for what it does. It simply collects information you enter such as the post URL, tags, the excerpt, etc, and then auto fills in the form fields on the social bookmarking websites you’re submitting to. The website also links to these social bookmarking websites based on your radio button choices. In other words, if you have delicious.com and digg.com checked (radio button clicked), those are the only sites you’ll be shown a link to from Social Poster containing collected information.
Social Marker
“Social bookmarking is a powerful tool in promoting a website. But going through all of those social bookmarking sites is very time-consuming and downloading all toolbars is madness! That’s where SocialMarker.com comes in, the free service designed to reduce the time and effort needed to socially bookmark a website.”
I don’t want to submit my stuff to those aggregators, because they often show my whole post and not an excerpt. As people read my article on that other site, they probably won’t come to mine.
Technorati, for example, does so. In my eyes that is a violation of the copyright law.
If by aggregators you mean the websites that submit your content to the social bookmarking communities, they only post the content you tell them to. So, you would just post your own excerpt in the ‘description’ field.
If by aggregators you mean the actual social bookmarking communities themselves, the same thing applies. They only paste what information you give to them.
