Smub, for Link Sharing

Janet points to Smub, a new service for sharing links between people.

I spend a lot of time online, and am not afraid to download widgets or tools or ’stuff’ to enhance my own online experience. Mostly I download tools that save me time and energy.

I started working for a company last month that has just launched a cool little tool that has really changed the way I think of saving time and energy. Suddenly I can share my work and the savings more easily with others.

Let’s say I’m going to Poppy in Seattle for lunch this weekend. I’ve never been there before, so I head over to Google Maps, where I can see a street by street view of how to get there. It gives me a lovely URL that I can share with others:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=105949487557353234306.00045bff21bb4e60713df

Uh huh. I can type smub.it/ in front of that behemoth and save it under a memorable, share-able name…
