Thinkfinity Community was just added to the options in the AddThis toolbar that lives on many websites.

Here's how AddThis works: Many companies put the AddThis "Share" toolbar on their websites to help people save their content to another website (such as Digg, Facebook, or the Thinkfinity Community.) For example, you can see the Share toolbar on this page in our content partner EDSITEment's website. So, when you're surfing the web and you find a web page you want to bookmark to the Thinkfinity Community, look for this Share toolbar, as it's faster and easier than cutting and pasting the url.

How does this help you?

1. When you're browsing the web, look for the AddThis toolbar, and select Thinkfinity from the menu to save that resource directly to your Thinkfinity Community Favorite Resources. You'll be able to share your favorite URLs from any of the over 1.5 million websites have integrated AddThis.

Note: Don't see us at the top of the list? Select More > and scroll down to Thinkfinity. Because the AddThis menu is smart, next time you select it, you should see Thinkfinity in the top, compact menu.

2. Want to put AddThis on your website or blog page?  It's really easy.  Just go to http://www.addthis.com and sign up right on the home page.

3. If you're browsing the web and find a site where Thinkfinity is not on the AddThis toolbar, write in and encourage them to add it so that all Thinkfinity Community members can quickly and easily save bookmarks from that location!

You can bookmark websites directly within the community or install the "Add to Thinkfinity" button to your browser to make bookmarking easy all the time.

Top Tips:

• Before creating a new bookmark, Search the Community (at the top right of the site) to see if it's already been created. If so, simply select it to add to your favorites.
• When creating a new bookmark, create a descriptive title and use tags so that other can find it when they search.
• Go to Browse All > Favorite Resources to discover top favorites of the week, month, and year.
• When bookmarking a personal page, mark it as private.

To bookmark within the community:

• Select the Create New tab in the yellow toolbar.
• Select Favorite Resources.
• Enter the URL and click Next.
• Enter a descriptive title, notes, and tags, and choose Save.
• Note: If you would like the bookmark to be private from the community, make sure to check Make this Favorite Resource Private.

To bookmark using the "Add to Thinkfinity" button:

• Select the Create New tab in the yellow toolbar.
• Select Favorite Resources.
• Select the Install the button link in the blue box near the top of the page. This will create a link in your browser.
• Now you can add bookmarks whenever you find a great site—just click on the link in your browser.
