All comments are manually approved before you will see them – that was the reason for the trouble.

Also I made an exception for your name, since this is directly related to the info you shared but normally I have a comments TOS that would send this into spam.

Hey guys,

OnlyWire has been completely re-written, re-lauched as of Jan 1st 2009 and is now fully supported. Our Bookmark & Share button is now serving millions of pages per day. It would be great if you could give it another shot.

Gleb, this post is nearly 10 month old … sorry.

I agree with you but at the time it seemed like a cool idea, although not very well implemented I must admit.

Hi Alex, I agree about great efficiency of OnlyWire service, but would argue about the OnlyWire plugin.
It has “reward the author button” which gives me consistent error “sorry it didn’t work”. So I presumed that if author couldn’t write the code to reward himself – then this thing has something to fix.
OnlyWire is essential to my business, so I’d rather do it manually now at least till the plugin will work flawlessly.

Thanks for great articles! I stumbled one, and already installed few plugins that you recommended.

Matt,

After this post I actually had to disable OnlyWire as it turned out it was failing to submit my posts properly. I do it manually now.

Thanks for HUP, fmjrey!

You are correct I have found same issue with OnlyWire and had to remove it – idea behind it was good, but executed poorly.

In addition to this I’ve just discovered in their terms of service that they ask for permission to add sponsored links to your bookmarks using your login.
You agree to let OnlyWire bookmark the http://www.onlywire.com site AND the OnlyWire Sponsor site on each of the bookmarking services you are participating with. OnlyWire will only bookmark the Sponsor site link one time.

Even more reasons to stay away from them!!!

My advice is to stay away from onlywire. I’ve been using it for a year, and this is the second times it fails silently on me with Simpy, leaving me to manually adjust the missing links (very tedious) I’ve created for more than 3 weeks.
Emailed them, no answer and no fix after a week.

Silent failure + silent support = stay away from them!!!
