How to share articles with other people

Mail link

To send someone a link to an article via email, choose Mail Link from the Share toolbar button popover. It will open a new message window in your email application with the link to the article. You can edit the message before sending.

Share on Facebook

Facebook is an online social networking service that lets users create a “timeline” of activity. To share an article on your Facebook timeline, choose Share on Facebook from the Share toolbar button popover. If you haven’t set up a Facebook account on your Mac yet, you'll be asked to provide a username and password.

Share on Twitter

Twitter is an online social networking service that lets users post very short updates. To share an article on Twitter, choose Share on Twitter from the Share toolbar button popover. If you haven’t set up a Twitter account on your Mac yet, you'll be asked to provide a username and password.

Post on App.net

App.net is an online social service which enables all sorts of social apps. To share an article on App.net, choose Post to App.net from the Share toolbar button popover.

NetNewsWire will ask for your username and password, if needed. If you need to change these later, log out by clicking the “power” icon in the popover.

Send to Instapaper

Instapaper is a popular service for saving things to read later. It requires a username and (optional-though-recommended) password.

To save an article or web page to Instapaper, choose Save to Instapaper from the Share toolbar button popover.

NetNewsWire will ask for your username and password, if needed. If you need to change these later, log out by clicking the “power” icon in the popover.

Send to Application

NetNewsWire supports a number of other applications that you can send links to: MarsEdit, Delibar and more.

Some of these apps post to a weblog (MarsEdit); some post to bookmark services (Delibar, for instance, posts to Pinboard); some just save locally.

NetNewsWire finds out which of these apps you have and displays those that are actually on your hard drive.

To send an article link to one of these apps, select an article or open a web page, then choose the app from the Share toolbar button popover.
