Osmosus Blog

Very excited to announce that starting immediately you’ll see Osmosus included in AddThis. Now you can share your favorite URL’s and information directly to your Osmosus GreenSpace from any of the over 450,000 Web sites that AddThis is on.

Here’s some excerpts from our announcement email:

What’s AddThis?
AddThis is the most popular online sharing tool in the world. Served 30 billion times a month to 500+ million people in 50+ languages. AddThis makes it easy for you to bookmark and share information to your favorite social destinations like Osmosus.

How does AddThis work with Osmosus?
* We’re a part of AddThis’s recently announced Service Directory.

* When you’re sharing to Osmosus for the first time, hover over the AddThis button/menu on the page you wish to share and click on the “more” link to get a longer list of the services available. Find Osmosus and click to share.

* Because the AddThis menu is smart, the next time that you want to share to us from AddThis, you’ll see that we’re listed in the compact menu. From here on out you’ll be able to share to Osmosus with just one click.

*Once you’ve shared an item to your GreenSpace it becomes a G-LOG item and you can edit it just like any other G-LOG. And, other Osmosus can comment on it, and share it too!
