Aren’t social bookmarking sites supposedly changing all the time? How will the software owners afford to keep up with this?

Anyone has success with it? Thanks!

isn’t it that onlywired.com is already providing that service, for free?

What so special about this product?

Any opinion?

Thanks!

Difference 1: The most obvious difference is that these free services are not fully automated. They require some manual interaction.

Here’s the process to bookmark accounts using onlywire:
1. Create your blog post
2. Go to your blog post permalink
3. Click the onlywire submit button on your toolbar
4. Enter/confirm your blog post data including tags and URL
5. Select the sites you want to submit the bookmark to
6. Submit them
7. No confirmation is sent so you don’t know if the submission was successful or not.

If you have more than one blog (which most of us do), then repeat this process for each blog!!!!

Here’s the process using ASP:
1. Create your blog post
2. Post is bookmarked, and email report is sent.

If you have more than one blog, just repeat step 1. If your blog is posted to automatically with one an auto blogging tool like RSS2BLOG then using ASP you don’t have to do anything. The blog will be posted to and the post will be bookmarked automatically.

In fairness, onlywire does have an API that allows you to add posts remotely, BUT they limit how many posts you can submit and they scrutinize the content of the posts. They can disable your ability to bookmark your posts at any time. It is a free service after all.

Difference 2: The next big difference is that ASP bookmarks to more bookmarking accounts and allows you to submit to random number of bookmarking accounts and multiple instances of the same type of bookmarking account automatically.

* Only wire: 22 Accounts. Several area actually no longer working (ex: shadows and spurl)
* Only wire: Only allows one account per bookmarking service per user.
* Only wire: You can either submit to all accounts you have or select specific accounts manually.

* ASP: 34 sites supported
* ASP: Supports an unlimited number of scuttle and scuttleplus accounts.
* ASP: Supports Multiple accounts from same bookmarking site (So you can have 10 magnolia accounts, 12 simpy accounts, etc.)
* ASP: Can automatically choose from X number of random accounts or any number of selected accounts.

This in effect means you can have hundreds and hundreds of bookmarking accounts from a single install of ASP.

Sure you can create multiple onlywire accounts to try and match the ASP features, but the point here is time-saving automation. If you have all the time in the world, then you don’t need any of this. Just bookmark your posts by hand.

Difference 3: Onlywire is a middleman. You add your blog post to your blog, then you need their server to add your post to the bookmarking sites. If their site goes down (and it does) what happens? If their service stops, what happens?

There is no middleman with ASP. Your blog bookmarks it’s own posts. Fewer points of failure and allows you total control over what is happening with your business.

How would I know if my wordpress has curl, globals off and the other requirement?

I learned about this after buying tagandping.com.

After you take the time to set it up, and get familiar with the process, your social reach grows as broad and fast as you want it to.

You might want to use only wire to throw some random stuff into your accounts as to fly under the radar a little better…I just hope Anthony works the functionality into ASP. Manually add a site url and bookmark it to our already loaded list of sites.

I just looked at my awstats and over half of my direct address hits are from my list of ASP sites.

2) Is it possible to add other social bookmark networks systems ? I’m interested to add several networks in italian language.

thanks in advance

RSS Bookmarker will bookmark any website or blog that has an RSS feed. It will bookmark all items in the RSS feed, old or new. RSS Bookmarker also allows you to centrally manage many different bookmarking projects. It’s a tool for those with lots of blogs really.

So basically ASP is for wordpress blogs only and RSS Bookmarker is for everything else.

I don’t understand question #2. Please clarify.

How do I know if my blog can handle this stuff?

1. Wordpress 2.1+, with CURL and OPENSSL enabled and Safe Mode off.

I already know I have the newest version of Wordpress but the CURL and the OPENSSL and Safe MOde off, is not something I’m familiar with.

Thanks, Roger

Create a simple one-line PHP script and upload it to your server. The script will be:

on a single line, with nothing else.

Name it test.php, or info.php, or whatever, and upload it to your web hosting account.

Navigate to that script in your web browser, and you’ll see a break down of all the features your PHP install offers.

You’ll see whether safe_mode is on or off, and you’ll see whether CURL and OpenSSL are installed.

There’s a lot of information there, so it may be easier to do a Find on the page. Look for:

safe_mode

CURL Support

OpenSSL Support

-SM

thanks in advance

But I think you’re still going over my head here. What makes you think I know anything about creating a simple PHP script?

Can you please provide such a script that I could upload? Do I just load it into a text file and then upload that to my server?

The rest I believe I can figure out from your directions. Or can I just navigate to a page or URL that is already a PHP Script?

Thanks, Roger

1. Open a blank text document (Notepad is fine)
2. Add the following bit of code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
3. Save the file as phpinfo.php
4. Upload it to your website
5. Load the address of your file in your browser of choice — if done properly, it will spit out your server’s PHP settings.

Hope that helps,
