Socialbrowse.com - Twitter for links. YAY!

Twitteresque link-sharing is nice, but Socialbrowse’s real value comes from the nifty icons that it embeds across the web. Every time a member shares a link, the system will embed a miniature version of their profile icon next to the link on the page itself, which is visible to all of that member’s followers (see image). It sounds intrusive at first, but in practice it is extremely useful, especially on link-heavy sites like CNN or Techmeme.
Now, instead of having to rely on link aggregators like Digg, users can browse the web as they normally would, using their friends’ icons to help single out the most interesting stories. Alternatively, users can head to Socialbrowse’s site, which tabulates the most shared links in order of popularity.
I know this is a little off topic for mobility, but this info is worth passing on . This looks like a great idea. Certainly has to be easier than the whole “tinyurl” game to post links on Twitter. This is what I always hoped Google Notebook would become. Nice.
