3. If you’re like me, you find lots of great content online
every day that ends up being fodder for Twitter. It can be
hard to keep track of what you tweet much less the links
you send out. Favoriting a link makes it easy to find later,
but if you favorite a lot of links, it can be hard to find older
links. If you want to tag your favorites, well forget that. Or
how about searching other people’s favorites? Impossible
at the moment. These frustrations sent me on a search for
the best bookmarking Twitter tool. It turns out there are
many more with a wider variety of features than I
imagined.

4. Overview
Criteria
I sat down with my co-workers and created a wish-list of qualities that we as marketing people want in a
Twitter bookmarking tool. As usual, all the tools have to be free and not require a download. Beyond that,
we wanted to be able to:
have an easy-to-use interface
get the hang of it quickly
send updates to Twitter and other sites
easily configure it
shorten URL´s, preferably with the ability to choose the URL shortening tool
use analytics
save links
tag or categorize links
link to other social media sites
search through the collection bookmarks

12. CONCLUSION
This was a tough one to pick. Tweetmarks is great
because if you already have a Delicious account, you don’t
have to open another bookmarking account. However,
Delicious lacks any way to share your bookmarks beyond
its service. Sharein is also great. The analytics are beyond
anything else I’ve seen but it doesn’t bring new content to
you. My pick for this week’s winner is Yourversion. It
imports your existing Delicious account (making
Delicious redundant), serves up content to you that might
be of interest and has a mobile interface. It’s got some
great tools that other sites should add to their list of
features.
