Today, our hbookmarker of the week comes from India and is called Lakshmi Narayana, who tweets at @lakshindy.

If you’re interested in anything related to digital media, head straight away to his hbookmark account, you’ll get your daily dose of fresh links on the subject, curated just for you.

Thanks @lashindy for sharing these interesting links (and by the way, you should put our widget on your blog, it’s very easy!)

You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.

hbookmarker of the week: @jbrogley

Another week, another hbookmarker of the week :)

Let us introduce you to Jessica Brogley (hbookmarks, twitter account, website), a High School English and Speech Teacher. Jessica “loves using Technology in her classroom whenever she can” (her own words according to her twitter profile).

So if you’re a teacher, student, or just interested in learning how technology can concretely benefit this space, we really encourage you to follow Jessica and browse her hbookmarks. 

We’re really happy with the way hbookmark’s community is growing: it is very diversified, and we are discovering new online ressources on various topics every day :)

hbookmarker of the week: @JoshHalliday

Since we’re now starting to achieve critical mass in terms of users, we thought it would be fun to start what we’ll call the “hbookmarker of the week”. 

This week’s hbookmarker is: Josh Halliday.

His bookmarks are here, and his twitter account is there

From his bio (and his hbookmark tag-cloud), Josh is very much into Journalism and Technology. The links Josh shares are both very interesting, and not the same as the ones everyone tend to tweet (think Mashable / Techcrunch retweets…).

Well done Josh, and please keep bookmarking, we like what you share!

Why Scoble sucks at sharing links

Anyone following the tech sphere knows who Robert Scoble is. 

Robert is everywhere on the web, as you can see from his google profile: he’s got a blog, accounts at twitter, facebook, flickr… you name it.

Following Robert on twitter can be very enlightening for anyone looking to understand trends, get the scoop on new tech, follow conferences. He’s probably one of the most enthusiastic journalists in tech, and his building43 video interviews are really interesting to watch.

But Scoble sucks big time at one thing: sharing links.

Sure, he’s tweeting interesting links all the time, but that’s the problem:

  • How do you browse links he’s tweeted a while ago ?
  • How do you find all of @scobleizer’s links related to a specific topic ?
  • How do you see patterns in what Scoble has been sharing recently ?
  • How does Scoble himself keep track of the links he shares ?
  • Wouldn’t that make sense to see his links somewhere in his blog’s sidebar ?

No way to do this easily.

I can hear you say he’s surely got a delicious account - well sort of. His latest bookmark dates back from 11th Feb 06… Why is that ? Because it’s a pain to bookmark something in delicious when you’re (over)sharing like Robert does. He would have to tweet (as he usually does), then use the delicious website or bookmarklet to tag every single link manually. We agree, this is painful…

This is why we created hbookmark - so that Robert Scoble finally starts to use the #bm hashtag when tweeting important links, and that all his important links can be stored and sorted automatically for him (and us!) at http://hbookmark.com/scobleizer - no manual input other than this little hashtag, and hbookmark will automatically tag the link.

Robert could even use our widget to display his links in his blog’s sidebar!

If you’re sharing links like Robert does, this post applies to you, too ;)

Twitscoop have integrated hbookmark in their web-based twitter client and buzz tracking tool - awesome :)
If you’re a developer, you can do the same, start by reading our api documentation

()

Just added callbacks to our API

Following a number of requests from developers, we’ve added the ability to specify a callback parameter (cb) to all our api methods.

If this parameter is supplied, the response will use the JSONP format with a callback of the given name.

Example:
http://hbookmark.com/api/bookmarks?user=hbookmark&cb=display

This should be useful to developers looking to do pure javascript client-side coding based on our api. Our api documentation has been updated accordingly.
Enjoy!
