When I wrote about the mobile aware link shortener and micro-blogging network, Delivr 's new Ping.fm integration a few weeks ago it only worked in desktop browsers. No more, now you can create a Delivr Share URL in your mobile browser and immediately post it on multiple networks using Ping.fm.
So what are Delivr and Ping.fm and why would you want to use them?
Delivr is a short URL generator that lets you shorten links and share them on nine different social networks, one at a time. It's a mobile friendly service that automaticlly directs visitors to the mobile or desktop versions of the content you are sharing. There's much more to Delivr too like analytics, micro-blogging, backup and download of your shared URLs and a QR code generator.
Ping.fm lets your share links and messages on 41 different social networks. That means you can simultaneously update your status or promote your latest blog post on Twitter, Facebook and other networks with a minimum of effort.
Here's how to get it all working:
The real power of Delivr plus Ping.fm comes when you automate the process of sharing the page you are currently viewing with a bookmarklet: Paste or enter
javascript:location.href=%27http://delivr.com/%27+location.href
into a bookmark. When you want to share the page you are currently viewing with Delivr, just select thae bookmark and you will be taken to the Delivr share page with the URL already created.
Opera Mini users can get the bookmarklet without having to type or paste by visiting the Opera mini bookmarkets page at o.yeswap.com and following the instructions.
