He’s probably one of the most enthusiastic journalists in tech, and his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.building43.com/">building43 video interviews</a> are really interesting to watch.</p> <p><strong>But Scoble sucks big time at one thing: sharing links.</strong></p> <p>Sure, he’s tweeting interesting links all the time, but that’s the problem:</p> <ul><li>How do you browse links he’s tweeted a while ago ?</li> <li>How do you find all of @scobleizer’s links related to a specific topic ?</li> <li>How do you see patterns in what Scoble has been sharing recently ?</li> <li>How does Scoble himself keep track of the links he shares ?</li> <li>Wouldn’t that make sense to see his links somewhere in his blog’s sidebar ?</li> </ul><p>No way to do this easily.</p> <p>I can hear you say he’s surely got a delicious account - well <a target="_blank" href="http://delicious.com/scobleizer">sort of</a>. 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…</p> <p>This is why we created <a target="_blank" href="http://hbookmark.com">hbookmark</a> - 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 <a target="_blank" href="http://http//hbookmark.com/scobleizer"><a href="http://hbookmark.com/scobleizer" target="_blank">http://hbookmark.com/scobleizer</a></a> - no manual input other than this little hashtag, and hbookmark will automatically tag the link.</p> <p>Robert could even use our widget to display his links in his blog’s sidebar!</p> <p>If you’re sharing links like Robert does, this post applies to you, too ;)</p></div> <div class="meta">Tuesday, May 25, 2010 (<a href="http://blog.hbookmark.com/post/631495206/why-scoble-sucks-at-sharing-links#disqus_thread"></a>)</div> </div> <div id="disqus_thread"></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/hbookmark/embed.js"></script> <noscript><a href="http://hbookmark.disqus.com/?url=ref">View the discussion thread.</a></noscript> <div id="notes"> </div> <div class="page-navigation"> <div class="left"><a href="http://blog.hbookmark.com/post/594944692">← Previous post</a></div> <div class="right"><a href="http://blog.hbookmark.com/post/638001830">Next post →</a></div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div id="footer"> <form class="search-footer" action="/search" method="get"> <input class="search-query" type="text" name="q" value=""><input class="button" type="submit" value="Search"> </form> <div class="actual-footer"> <p><a href="http://blog.hbookmark.com/rss">RSS</a>, <a href="/archive">Archive</a>.
