Seems Dirpy team wasn’t happy about it and thus decided to kick off once again after resting for a while! It has been more than a month since Dirpy is back into existence but we got to know about it now and couldn’t stop us from informing you. Folks at Dirpy are also putting in their efforts to spread the word, informing people that they’re back in town.

Until then, the extension has not been updated and it is missing the much needed Share on Google Plus feature. Recently, Google made available the API for Google+ and developers have started their work. Now you can Share any web page on Google Plus quickly using a bookmarklet or an extension. It comes handy to share webpages that don’t have a +1 button integrated.

Share on Google Plus is a useful Chrome extension which seems using the code from Simple Google+ Bookmarklet, made by AJ Batac. The only difference in this extension is that it doesn’t displays the Share web page and just lets you easily and quickly share a webpage to Google+ stream, directly from Chrome’s main bar. Hence, you can now share anything without the need to manually post it on Google+.

Twitter ‘Share’ Bookmarklet solves this problem, which uses Twitter’s new Tweet Button API. Check below how to use it.
