Hi all,

I wonder if there is a way to automate social bookmarking? I imagine to have a txt file where I paste links I want bookmarked once a day and then have the softwre run through dozens of bookmarking sites to bookmark them on autopilot while i do something else.

Is this possible and if yes, how can I build a job like this?

Thank you

Mon

Re: Automate Social Bookmarking

Salve Mon! Here is what I would do:

1) Create a job that would have a hotkey like Ctrl+Shift+C, and whenever I pressed it, it would automatically copy my selected text and paste it in a text file that is placed in "My Documents" (this way you won't have to open the notepad, or gather your bookmarks; you just press the hotkey when you find them and have them selected). The job that I attached is doing pretty much that.

2) The second job/part of your question, is a bit complicated to automate. The reason for this, is that each bookmarking service has a different login system and you will need to fill 2 forms (a login form and a submit form) for each service's website. Also, as you said, you do not want to use the "Macro Recorder" or any mouse clicks/keystrokes, so that the job will be running in the background. I could create a sample job that will login to a single bookmarking service and post a URL but since I'm not really using any bookmarking services, can you please tell me which one is the most "cool" these days?
