Netlog Blog / Netlog Bookmarklet

Web 2.0 is a beautiful thing that offers infinite possibilities to its users. However, with all the news, information and sites available, it can also be pretty hectic - and can leave you wishing there were more hours in the day!

So from now on, Netlog users will be able to share and save links on their profiles through our new LINK feature. This can be added on the shortcut toolbar by going to Settings/Display/Shortcuts and activating the “Add a Link” option. With this activated, each user can add any website link manually to their profile.

To make matters even simpler, Netlog has created a bookmarklet that will make linking straightforward and quick. So if you’re reading the news online or happen to stumble upon a really interesting site, the Netlog bookmarklet will let you share this link with your friends and peers.

Moreover, thanks to the Add to Any and Shareomatic bookmarking widget, each Netlog user can gather everything they want to know in one place. For example, readers of the Belgian newspapers De Standaard , Het Nieuwsblad and De Tijd – and Het Laatste Nieuws in due course - can use the bookmarking service to save and share news items with other Netlog members.

Now, every Netlog user can:

• Add any links to his/her profile by using by using the Netlog Toolbar for IE (Firefox support is in development), or through manual input
• Import links from Belgium’s most read newspapers online or from any other site using the “add to any” and “shareomatic” buttons
