A tool/webapp to recommend/share links with different groups of people?

You actually could use delicious, with a tag for each group. If you really don't want different groups to see your other links you could use different usernames.

e.g. if your username was JustAGeek you could have any links for your friends tagged with 'friends', and the URL for those links would be http://delicious.com/justageek/friends.

For work you could have the username 'justageekwork'.

Delicious generates an RSS feed for any tag as well, just visit that URL and it gives you an RSS feed URL for that list of links.

Use the delicious firefox plugin for the one button click sharing functionality.

Hm, yes, that could work.

Though it is still a bit too complicated because quite a lot of interaction is needed to do that, even with the delicious Firefox addon. You probably have to manually enter the group name as a tag, for example.

Ideally, I'd only have to click one button displaying a popup with all groups I've set up.

But well, sounds like the way to go - unless somebody can point me to something else.

So, thanks for your answer! :)

I have also been looking for something similar to what you are mentioning, but have yet to find anything. Having the ability to choose between groups to share with seems easy enough.

The delicious method described above would work, but I believe you are right - there should be something a little easier.

Hopefully we'll find it today!
