Hi Captain,

Ping.fm is a service that will post to your various social networking sites including blogs, micro blogs as well as social bookmark sites. If there are links in your blog posts posts or status updates, Ping.fm will automatically detect them and optionally post them to your social bookmarks. See the following link for details:

Hi Captain,

Since Ping.fm was designed primarily as a tool to post to blogs and micro blogs, I would setup at least one of those first (i.e. Twitter). Go to this page and follow directions: Ping.fm / Supported Social Networks

Then setup Delicious and Diigo accounts (the 2 bookmarking services supported by Ping.fm) and add those to your network. Now when you make posts, or status updates, to your blog/micro blogs through Ping.fm it will detect links within those posts and automatically post those as bookmarks to your Delicious and Diigo accounts.

If you want to create bookmarks for pages that are already posted on your website you can make a short status update or micro blog post, referring to the URL you want bookmarked within that post, and Ping.fm handles it automatically when posting through there service.
