Send To Tumblr And Track With Bitly Google Reader Custom Link
Google Reader just launched a “Send to Twitter” feature that allows you to share bit.ly links to interesting items in your reader with your Twitter friends. First, awesome!
Second, Google Reader has been getting lots of product development attention lately, and with all the awesome stuff they are adding, I spend all of my time there as opposed to twitter.com/home, facebook.com/home, or Tumblr Dashboard. One thing I miss about Tumblr dashboard was easy reblogging.
There is a “Send to Tumblr” link as one of the defaults, but it doesn’t use bit.ly urls. So, I hacked together a custom “Send to Tumblr” link.
URL: http://tumblr.com/share?v=2&u=${short-url}&t=${title}&s=${title}%0Avia%20${source}
Icon URL: http://assets.tumblr.com/images/favicon.gif?2
