Smub.it Shares And Stores Links With A URL Tweak
Mobile service Smub.it takes web addresses you put after its URL, like smub.it/http://lifehacker.com.au, and provides a grid of links to email, Twitter, Delicious bookmark, or otherwise share them from mobile phones and web browsers.
Ideally, Smub.it wants you to register and keep yourself logged in, so you don’t have to enter your username and password credentials for any of the sharing services on its grid when you get there. And it’s really made for the pre-copy/paste iPhone, smartphone, or tiny standard cell screen, where it’s not so easy to copy, paste, or email a link you’re visiting. The value lies in the URL usage, and, presumably, URLs you can remember and type rather than blog permalinks or search queries.
Still, if you’re away from your convenient home or work computer and want to tag, share, or speak up about a web site, appending it to Smub.it might be a convenient option. Free to use, requires registration to bookmark and save sites and login credentials. Smub [ReadWriteWeb]

At first I thought this was similar to the firefox add-on fast dial only I could use it on my winmo phone with opera. Now I don't really get it. I guess it is kind of worthless unless you dont have copy paste ability.

The point the ability to type "smub.it" before the URL currently in the address bar, not for short URLs you can remember (which wouldn't be very useful).
I can see using it to announce site updates. Type it once and then clik clik clik into the right formats. For occasional use it would be pretty meaningless...it doesn't save THAT much time...but for more than once a day, I might give it a go.
