Computer owners make use of various means to share webpage URLs with friends. We share links via email, online social networks, instant messengers, and even forums. While these means are simple and convenient, all of them require a new tab to be opened in the web browser before any sharing can be done. There should be an even simpler way that helps you share interesting URLs with friends, coworkers, and family members really quickly.

What computer users would greatly appreciate is a tool that lets them quickly share URLs through their desktop. While an app such as this might not be available for Windows, Mac users have the perfect solution available in the form of a tool called The Great Link.
