A standard for RT'ing?
By Dave Winer on Friday, February 03, 2012 at 7:49 PM.
There's a feature in all my rivers that makes it possible to RT a post, directly from the browser to your linkblogging tool.  permalink
Here's an example of one of the rivers.  permalink
It works with Radio2, and probably nothing else. But any other linkblogger could support it by accepting three parameters. They are: link, title, description. permalink
They came straight from the RSS item.  permalink
The first time the user clicks a RT, a dialog asks for the domain name of their linkblogger. It stores it in a cookie, so the user never has to enter it again. permalink
If you have a blogging tool you can support this, probably in a few minutes (and you might already support it if you have a bookmarklet, in which case please let me know). permalink
This site contributes to the scripting.com community river.
