I have been testing out a few systems lately and asking questions to all the big brands and one has provided a solution. SocialOomph has now added the ability to schedule updates for your Facebook profile and any page your are an administrator for.

Facebook’s Share Bookmarklet is a simple way to share websites on facebook with two clicks. When you visit the bookmarklet page along the right hand side you will see a “Share on Facebook” button. Click and hold on that button and drag it into your bookmarks bar in your browser.

Now when you’re researching online or just found something that will interest your friends all you have to do is click that button and you can instantly share that page.

Another great featuer that Facebook has labeled a “Pro Tip” is the Share Bookmarklet will recognize when you share videos and music, making them easy to play within Facebook.
