Sharing gets a little love

By Nick on May 31, 2009

Just a quick note to let you guys note that I’ve enhanced the “Share” tool you see on stories, pages and author profiles with some new functionality. I’ve added a new tab that’ll allow you to share the page you’re looking at directly on Facebook or as a new tweet on Twitter, if either of those sites tickles your fancy.

Here’s a screenshot of the new look. All of the old functionality (sharing with fans and via email) is still there. Just a little upgrade for those of you who frequent other large social networks. Enjoy. :)

Oo this looks cool! You seem to come up with good ideas all the time!! This is a groovy way to get the site noticed more as well! :D x

That’s the idea. :)

I have to admit, though, I liberally borrowed this from Digg’s latest change to “Shouts”. I still like the idea of sharing with fans, but I thought it’d be handy to be able to directly share stuff on Facebook or Twitter and let the site fill in the blanks for you.

Nice. Verra nice.

I think pretty soon, the internet is going to be just one big giant website, and one login is gonna getcha everything.

Are you thinking of adopting OpenID at all?
Nick 05.31.09 / 4pm

Yeah, I’m looking at OpenID / OAuth and Facebook Connect down the line… probably gonna be a little while before I get to that, though.
