Pocket and Evernote Web Clipper are programs that run in your web browser that allow a one-click method to save articles you think you'll share later. Both Pocket and Evernote web clipper allow you to add tags to saved articles.

Then, simply copy and paste the URL of an article you'd like to share, view and approve a thumbnail preview of the link, and add your own commentary in the text box below.
Tip: for each post on LinkedIn you have the option to share with Everyone, Connections (only 1st degree connections) or Everyone + Twitter (which will conveniently push a post to Twitter and draw visitors to your LinkedIn page).
