If you maintain accounts on several different social bookmarking services that you try to keep in synch, you'll know that keeping each account in line with the other can be a pain.
OnlyWire: The Only BookMarklet You'll Ever Need! seeks to get around this problem by providing you with a single bookmarklet that will post the bookmarked page to multiple social bookmarking sites, acting in effect as a posting aggregator.
To use the service, you need to configure your account with your identities on whichever social bookmarking services you want the link posted to, which I think will cause some people to worry about privacy issues.
Onlywire has a minimal API too, though I think I'd prefer something a little more elaborate, like the ability to choose which systems the bookmark was supposed to be sent to.
Update: here are a couple more, not dissimilar, services that I've just come across:
- Socialiszer - "The Socializer allows you to easily submit a link to several social bookmarking systems. Instead of having a link to each social bookmarking website, you have a single link to all of them!"
- Multiplost bookmarklet generator tool
