Enhanced Sharing April 8, 2009

One of the great new features in the recently released Times 1.1 is the ability to add your own "Share" links. For those familiar with configuring variable URLs, it's a really easy way to add support for your favorite services. But it may be a bit of a mystery for those who are not so savvy - in fact we've already received quite a few requests asking us to add new services ourselves.

I've compiled a list of some popular services you can add to Times. Just copy and paste these URLs as new items under the Sharing panel in the Times Preferences to add them as working services. Enjoy!

Update: Code Sorcery Workshop explains that native apps with their own URL schemes can be added to Times as well. Here's how to add support for their popular Delicious client, Pukka.

On a side note, Times 1.1.2 is now available and contains many important fixes. You can grab it from the Times page, or via the built-in software update mechanism.
