At the most basic level you can create a bookmark in Chrome with this bit of Hubski's JavaScript:

javascript:window.location=%22http://hubski.com/submitlink?u=%22+encodeURIComponent (document.location)+%22&t=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+%22&x=%22+%22&r=%22

Then when you're on a page you like, you click your bookmark and it automatically fires up Hubski with the page's URL and title.

Actually, I did that (your javascript is nicer than mine), I have just been bugging these guys for 18 months to integrate into the web better.

Ah, that's fair enough. I know it's just a quickie (and I hope I'm not treading on the lovely mk's turf), but I knocked this Chrome extension together: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hubski/cajikbfikge...

It adds a little Hubski icon to your extensions. You can click on it on a website and it will open up Hubski with a new post. It's basically the same as the JS we mentioned earlier, but it's integrated a bit better with the browser rather than being a flat bookmark.

Was that the kind of thing you had in mind?

Linkie not workie....

Yes, and if he doesn't like getting tread upon by his user community providing key functionality, wait, that doesn't even make sense, does it?

Oh, sorry the link didn't work for you. I've tried it on a few browsers and it looks okay from here. Maybe try again later? It's possible it takes a few minutes to propagate into the Chrome Store properly.

I use the Submit to Hubski Button. Will that help you cliffelam? The "buttons" link at the bottom of the page should probably be more prominent. Let me know if this is what you were requesting.

Thanks for your help StJohn, much appreciated.
