How to Socialize your Browser, Streamline your life

It is time to streamline

Copying links, venturing to the site, logging in, pasting your link, and clicking update are a thing of the past. There are tools out there that will facilitate the ability your ability to share content without having to venture to them.

Enter Browser plugins, They have been around a long time but are rarely adopted by people because they simply don’t know that they exist. So if you have ever been doing something online and thought “There has GOT to be a better way“, there probably is. Do a quick search for what your problem is and add the word plugin to it. You will be amazed at how many free plugins exist out there to suite many needs.

Hootsuite – A bookmarklet from Hootsuite. This is my personal favorite sharing tool.
