Note: This hack works well in both latest beta version 3 as well as in FeedDemon old version 2.7.
We all know that FeedDemon is the best desktop feed reader. A new beta version 3 came out with lot of new features. I haven't tried it but i saw screenshot where it clearly showed Share button, i think it lets you to bookmark and share, i am not sure about it. Any way if you have tried the new version let me know in the comments. You can add more bookmarking sites to old version of FeedDemon with a simple hack.
How to add Bookmarking links to FeedDemon:
Lets include other bookmarking services to FeedDemon’s Send To menu. Adding bookmarks is quite simple, first close the FeedDemon(if it is already opened), download the FeedDemon bookmarks RAR files from Sky Drive(link below), extract and place them in the FeedDemon’s SendTo folder.
Here C:\Program Files\FeedDemon\Data\SendTo
Some files might already exist in SendTo folder like Delicious.xml and Digg.xml, so if you like you can replace them with files that are downloaded from this blog. Now start the FeedDemon you will find new items are added to SendTo folder. From now onwards you can save to your favorite bookmarking sites from FeedDemon.
How to share links in Twitter from older version of FeedDemon:
You have to do some work around if you want to use Twitter in older version, that is because the older version does not support ShortURL service, whereas the latest beta version has got some cool URL shortening features(i haven't used this version), so if you want to share link in Twitter from older version, the URL of the post is not shortened to fit in 140 character limit. So go for toolbar bookmarklet services for browser like 140it and TinyURL.
Contents of two RAR Files:
I have differentiated bookmarking sites from multi-bookmarking services. So you have two RAR files. Don't get confused from these two files, bookmarking sites.rar contains 19 bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, Ask.com, Bloglines, Windows Live, etc while the multi bookmarking services.rar contain two multi bookmarking service files AddtoAny and Socializer, Which lets you to save bookmark at different sites. This is helpful if your favorite bookmarking service is not listed in the bookmarking sites.rar file.
