Bookmark, Organize And Share Your Favorite SteemIt Links
Screenshots
This free tool allows you to organize your steem posts in public or private lists and share them with others.
Intro
I ran into the new contest by @conradt a couple of days ago.
I started preparing my entry, but got sidetracked.
Since I’m not really at the top of my game yet, I completely forgot about it later on.
Now I’ve just discovered the contest is almost over, there is no other way than to finally write the post I had started.
The Contest
In his ‘5 Steem Basic Income shares giveaway - Sharing Steem Initiatives, @conradt is trying to collect a list of useful SteemIt initiatives and tools that can be helpful here on your SteemIt journey.
There are loads of those. Some are very popular and known by everyone, others are less famous, but maybe equally useful.
That’s why I chose to pick one of those less popular, and use its amazing functionalities to introduce you to many more useful tools.

SteemShare
Steemshare is a tool developed by @originate.
It is still in alpha testing phase, which means it’s far from perfect yet. There are a lot of functionalities that could be a great improvement.
But it looks like new features are being added on a regular base.
Bookmarking
If you are a bit like me, you probably think that the absence of a bookmarking feature on SteemIt is a big deal.
I like to save posts that are interesting to me, or make a list of profiles I really want to check in on regularly.
Steemshare is a tool that allows you to do that and even more.
Steemshare Features
Steemshare allows you to:
Organize your favorite steem posts into private or public lists.
Discover other steem users favorite posts by different topics.
No more storing a bunch of bookmarks or pasting in notepad.
New features are being added regularly
How It Works: Creating Lists
After creating your account at Steemshare (email address and password only), you can create as many lists as you want.
In these lists, you can save any number and any sort of link you want: both SteemIt links and external links. This allows you to create very useful collections of related links.
Below, you can see the lists I’ve created so far:
How It Works: Adding Links & Sharing
Once you’ve created a list, you can start adding relevant links. This means you have quick access to the sites, profiles or posts you need.
So far, it might look like a regular bookmarking tool to you.
The most useful feature, however, is the ability to share your lists with others.
For example, if I want to show you the very useful SteemIt tutorial by @markrmorrisjr called Dolphin School Bootcamp, all I need to do is share with you the list in which I saved all tutorial posts.
Here it is:
Dolphin School Bootcamp Links List
Or if I want to show you my collection of favorite account management tools, I just have to give you this link:
http://www.steemshare.com/lists/268
Here are a couple more:
My lists are far from complete, and more links will be added in the future.
I assume you get the picture by now. Steemshare does not only allow you to organize your own SteemIt related, useful links, but you can also help out others by using the sharing functionality.
On top of that, once you are logged in to your account, you can add links to other people’s lists to complete them.
Cons
We must not forget this tool is still in alpha testing phase. There are quite a few things that need to be improved:
Sort lists feature.
Give links a title to make links more easy to find in a list.
Be able to change the order of the added links.
Be able to delete links from a list.
Search feature.
I assume many of these features will be implemented sometime in the future.
Meanwhile, Steemshare is already a useful tool no Steemian can live without.

hi @simplymike
thank you for sharing info about this tool. very interesting one.
Let me suggest something that may help your readers a lot. You should justify your posts.
The difference will be huge. Just like on picture below:
You can find it explained quite well here:
https://steemit.com/html/@dyrits/steem-it-1-how-to-justify-your-text
Post is already a bit to old to upvote :(
Yours, Piotr
This is interesting: I would not recommend justifying posts. @crypto.piotr, I'd be interested to know whay you think it would help @simplymike's readers?
From a reading perspective, the eye "expects" the same amount of space between words, and a jagged right margin, which is what happens when you right align text. When I was writing learning materials, it was always a battle with the designers - they wanted to justify everything because they thought it looked better. I had to constantly point out that the materials were to be read so that people could learn. Who won? Anyhow, test it for yourself and see which body of text is easier to read.
I know I'm interrupting a conversation - sorry. A hobby horse of mine ;) Take it or leave it because it's entirely up to you.
Yes. Do Not justify your writing. At least not on page.
you mind telling me why?
cheers, Piotr
Because it strains the reader's eye and many people won't even take the time to read it.

Thank you for your kind comment @fionasfavourites
I wrote my suggestion based on my own personal experience. I found it easier to read justified text. And again, that's only friendly suggestion :)
All the best
Piotr
@crypto.piotr thanks for clarifying, and best to you, too!
Hi again @simplymike
Just checked your profile just to realize that we seem to share a number of interests :)
In particular that we both share a similar passion towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology :)
I will follow you closely :) Take care, Piotr
I can tell you that after writing hundreds of articles for several different publications, I've never been asked to justify my writing. They have all asked for AP format.
But if I was paying for a course in College and my professor said to justify the text, that is how I would do it. :)
hi @inalittlewhile
Im sorry for such a late reply. I've been away for a couple of days and just got back. Loads of catching up to do.
I guess you're professional and you know better. I realized that some poeple like it justified and many doesnt. I only shared my personal (not profesional) opinion.
ps.
I've noticed that we share many similar interests so I will be following you closely.
Thx for your comment. Yours, Piotr
Thanks for the tip, @crypto.piotr, but I agree with @fionasfavourites and @inalittlewhile.
Personally, I don’t like to tead justified text. For some reason, it feels unnatural to me
thank you @simplymike for sharing your view on that issue and Im sorry for such a late reply.
yours, Piotr
GREAT explanation of a tool I need to check out!
Glad I could be of any help. I’ve been using it since the beginning. It still surprises me how few people know about it...
Thanks so much for this, these are just the tools I've been looking for, especially the bookmark app. Really appreciate this @simplymike
You’re welcome.
It’s a tool I’ve been using since I first started on SteemIt. Because of some missing features - like reordening and deleting links - it became kind of a mess, but I created a new account just before I wrote this post. Copied the important stuff and put them in the correct order, so I will be good for a couple of months again :0)
@simplymike ah, good advice, thank you!
Congratulation! Your hunt was ranked in 32nd place on 30 May 2018 on Steemhunt.

That is an interesting tool. I have a series of articles that I would like to be able to revisit and the current layout of Steemit makes it hard for me to do that. I will have to check into this Steem Share tool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for participating in our Giveaway.

Steemshare is perfect to save like a series of articles. Just be sure to save them in the right order (if order is important).
The site could use a lot of improvements, still I use it quite fequently.
This looks awesome! Like you, I get sidetracked all over the place, so I started using oldschool sticky notes, but then my table was soon covered in them; so I switched to keeping a note book and pen beside me, but that too is a mess of scribbles that I occasionally sort through and think, "oh yeah, I was going to do that" :) So, perhaps this will solve my problem.
Who am I kidding...I probably need professional help :)
Guess being organised was a subject at the technical school we both didn’t go to, lol.
I too have sticky notes, notebooks (plural), my phone’s notebook and Steemshare (and like 30 tabs open in my browser at the same time), but to be honest... I’m still all over the place and sidetracked every 10 seconds...
Maybe we should start a self-help group... something like the AA, but we should call it the AHU: Anonymous Hopeless Unorganized ;0P
hahaha that's funny! I have found that Fast Reply has totally put blinders on me when I'm replying to all of my comments and it is amazing. I don't get distracted at all. I do bookmark things that are important and periodically run through those, but generally speaking, I do keep a plan in place and years of teaching 150 kids a day gave me the tools to either remember a lot of stuff or at the very least, pretend to look organized :)
I should try it out sometime, but can’t get it to work on my phone. Maybe later, when I’m motivated enough to take out my tablet again... :0)
I hear you! 😂 How's your "head-space" with recoup #2 going?
You have gotten my interest, I will be checking it out to learn more.
I hope you’ll find it helpful
