I want the Ow.ly social bar.
Got It And Love It – But I Love HootSuite Period!
With the bar being thinner now, I guess this rules out bringing back Google adsense to the bar?

I can’t wait to get my hands on the HSSB – I saw it on Ogilvy Guru’ and I want it too ! Love the service – finally some brilliant minds came up with a brill idea !! Thank you
@Steve Roberts You get the Ow.ly bar when you click through a link posted via HootSuite. It shows at the top of the page after going through the http://ow.ly link.
@Jeff Can you give us more information regarding the issue or some place where we can follow the progress?
I am using the Hootsuite favorites bar link, but I would love to get the Hoot bar and work with your service with the bar feature. Please, pretty please!
I love hootsuite and am intrigued about what you say about allowing spiders and branding… would definitely like to give this a try!

Hi,
The ow.ly shortener does not work at all in Opera (at least in 10 Beta). Submitting any long URL results in the shortest URL http://.

To all those asking where the Owly Social Bar is, try reading the comments, especially #10…

Sounds great – where do I sign up!
Looking forward to the bar!
Please let me know when the Owly Social Bar is available. Looks super handy. Thanks – jason
Been looking for a social media bar for some time. The Digg bar is great but only lets you Digg, tweet, email and Facebook. Having more options is great. Let me know when it’s available. thx.
I’m seeing the Owly Social Bar on pages. How do I get one?
Hootsuitesweetsuite?
The only problem I see is that the tweet function doesn’t change to the current page if a person clicks to a different page on the website. It should tweet whatever the current page is, not the initial page.
Sounds great. Pls. let us know when it’s available!
Okay, so all of you who are asking how to get the Ow.ly Social Bar 2.0. It is very simple, just log on to your Hootsuite account and create a short url. Yes, that is it
This is an example of one I just made: http://ow.ly/elG3
i’m updating my site and would really like to have your social bar. I’ve been impressed with your web based twitter client, and would assume your bar is just as terrific.
I want the Ow.ly social bar.
Great info this is really a secret weapon for being an avid user on Twitter! Sweet!!!
Coool! I want one.
I want the Ow.ly social bar too!
Very interesting tool would love to invest my time into this awesome display allowing social interaction.
I really like HootSuite. So many features that I enjoy using.
I like the smaller footprint and the fact you remembered that there are other social websites out here. Making it easier to share in more places is key in acquiring quality traffic.
I think you are missing big-time here
You came up with what seems to be a great offer – but I’ve spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out where I actually get the toolbar – you should make it obvious enough to understand
would love to try the bar!
want it -where do I sign up?
i want the Ow.ly social bar pls
Either that’s a lie, or you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Need for my website…
Give me THE BAR!
Is there a way to have this bar turned off by default? The opt-out method is nice but opt-in by default has more pitfalls than benefits for us.
I’d love to know more about the link, guys. Thanks!
I MEANT that I want to know about the Owly bar. Geez
I would love to try the Ow.ly social bar.

Hi, how can get the social toolbar? I’ll love to have it.
I’m interested in setting up the owly bar on a client’s website but I haven’t received a reply to the form I filled out on http://ow.ly/socialbar
Please let me know if / how I can set this up as my client is eager to put this on their website, thanks!
We all want it but you don’t provide a link. Once we have hooter accounts it seems one can’t go to the hootsuite home page – we just go to our own hooted twitter account page. Hence all the above dumb sounding comments, eh? Maybe we are being dumb and missing the cue? Ahh, finally found something googling ow.ly social bar
I’m very interested in the social bar and a phone/Skype interview with your spokserson on the very WOOTworthy Hootsuite for my talkback radio show and blogs
btw..looking forward to Hootlet for iPhone/Safari and groups for desktop and iPhone apps …

Sweet…hoot me when the social bar is ready!
pls send toolbar when available by email to shlomo@wejew.com
oh! I want one too!! please tell me when you get it.
Wonder how this compares to the ShareThis Add-On for Firefox?
I would love ow.ly 2.0. How do you get it?
Am checking into this..sounds like a blast! I definitely want to join the birds. thanks for sharing!
I would love a Social Bar 2.0 – can I please have one?
I would like a Ow.ly social bar of my own
I would be most gratefull to become the social bar – saludos cordiales
I think that anything that makes my posting easier.. is a given must have.
How can I get it
Just luv hootsuite-great tool to form Unity-GLOBALLY..JMarie luvs hootsuite-pass it on=:)
This screams TinyURL eating up the DiggBar.
How can I get that?
how do you disbale the bar. The upper frame is not cooperating with my website and making it useless when I use Owly to shorten my links.
The bar is great. I now use hootsuite for all of my tweeting, and use the dashboard for all of my viewing. I just wish there was an igoogle widget, and a place for ad code in the toolbar.
How do I get social media bar. I registered for it sometime back but it says someone will get back to be. I wish there was an easy way for same.
@WEBOSIS
I’m curious how it doesn’t hurt search engine juice as well. I can see that I have a ton of clicks on my owl.ly links, but then I go check analytics for my site and blog, and see very few clicks. Google isn’t recognizing clicks on owl.ly links. Is this something you’re working to resolve?
HootSuite is awesome! I would like to be on the list to get this app. Thanks.
This is really, really sweet, I love it
And I love hootsuite too!
love, LOVE, L-O-V-E Hootsuite and Ow.ly!!!
