I know sharing is integral part of social media and is very critical for social media content. Clearspring (AddThis) and some of large technology companies including Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, have announced OExchange, an “open sharing protocol”.

The two most shared platforms that were very conspicuously missing from this alliance – Facebook and Twitter. The question that comes to my mind is “Should I use Facebook Connect, Twitter Anywhere or OExchange? I would go with Facebook Connect with additional existing sharing tools like: addthis, sharethis, addtoany & socialtwist.

Even better, you can use “Facebook Like” button and tweetmeme (twitter icon) on your blog and you are done for most part on social sharing.

Check out oexchange video:

Don’t forget to use addthis below for sharing this post

A much awaited feature from YouTube is finally here – videos that  can be shared ONLY with friends/family.  A new feature called “unlisted” videos is available for all YouTubers that allows themto share by sending link to the video. YouTube Help Center has more information and you can also read the post on the YouTube blog.

There have been embarrassing videos that I wanted to share with friends only and now I have the option. On the flip side, it might affect the viral value of some videos….what do you think?
