The super giant Google quietly launched a new technology, codename Shared Stuff, which is supposed to give the users the possibility to share links and websites in a separate page. It
works somehow similar to a profile page because all your links are stored in your own account which obviously can be accessed by anyone on the web or only by you, depending on your settings. As you can see in the picture attached to the article, it might represent a simple alternative for a bookmark manager because you can access the saved links straight from the page without installing any additional software. The cool thing about it is that Shared Stuff can be organized using a special button which can be inserted in your browser's bar in order to add links with ease.

The button is actually a JavaScript which redirects the users to the add stuff page but it is quite useful if you intend to use Shared Stuff very often.

"The Google Email/Share button allows you to easily share or email any web-page with your friends. Your shared stuff page is publicly visible and allows you to share stuff with your friends and on the web," the official page of the product states. "Whenever you see the Google sharing button, on our sites or any other, click it to share the current webpage in whatever way you prefer!"

What's more attractive is that the Shared Stuff is also compatible with multiple third party technologies so you can share your weblinks on several products including Facebook, Furl, del.icio.us, Reddit or Digg using the button added to your toolbar.

As I said, your personal page is somehow similar with a profile website, allowing you to write several details about you which will be obviously displayed next to the saved links.
