Welshare used to have a unified “Like” button, but that has been confusing. That’s why today the unified “reshare” button is introduced. What it does is the same – it allows you to reshare any message to all other networks that you are connected to, with just one click. Or if you like to customize the resharing – with a few more (using the cog icon next to “reshare”). Also note that welshare automatically strips any twitter-specific symbols (#, @), so your facebook friends won’t we confused if you reshare a tweet.

In addition to that the native actions for each social network are added – “like” for facebook and “retweet” for twitter. With them you can do the simple, predictable action on the target network. That way new users won’t be confused and will have time to get used to the unified reshare button.

If you are a power-user, you certainly have more than a thousand tweets and facebook posts. And there are cool messages that are worth sharing again. For people that were offline when you originally shared it, for those that weren’t following you, or for the ones that have forgotten. In fact some twitter celebrities practice this – they repost old tweets.

That’s why Welshare introduces “Sharing suggestions” – random picks from all messages posted by you in our database (which can include practically everything if you enable importing from Settings > Social). You can see them in the menu on the right, and choose to share some of them again. There will be a “from the archives” ending to each, to indicate that it’s an old one, but you can modify the message before sharing it.

Now you can import messages from your social networks into welshare. That way they will be archived and your welshare page will show everything you write on every network. The option is not “on” by default – it can be enabled from “Settings > Social”.

Welshare tries to provide tools that save your time. Today some new features are introduced:

• “interested in” keywords – often you just scan through your stream to check if there’s something particularly interesting (from a specific person, specific site, etc). Now scanning is made easier – you can choose to highlight the messages in your stream that contain your “interested in” keywords. For example, I’ve chosen to highlight everything from 9gag. *Access the feature from the menu on the right.
• limiting the time you spend. Social networks lead to addiction, and you might not even know how much time you spend daily just checking updates from friends. If you are not among the few that can limit themselves, you can use this new option – configure how many minutes per day you want to be reading your streams. There’s a nice progress bar that shows you how much time you’ve consumed already. When the time is up a warning is displayed. You can, of course, continue, but that warning will let you know you might spending too much time that can otherwise be spent doing something productive. *You can configure that form the “Settings” screen.
• scheduling messages – in some cases you need to schedule updates for some time in the future. For example when you write something in your blog in the middle of the night you don’t want to share it immediately – very few people will see it. Instead you can schedule it for the next day, just after the morning coffee of your friends and followers. *Use this option from the calendar below the sharebox.

And on Welshare you already have:

• filters – if you don’t want to see messages containing specific keywords, you can filter them out of your stream. For example I’m using it to filter out foursquare check-ins and annoying hashtags from conferences I don’t care about.
• missed important messages – showing you a list of messages that had high number of likes or retweets while you were offline. So, instead of scrolling back in your stream, you simply go and read the top stories

With these features welshare tries to optimize your social network experience – get more, spend less time.
