Sharing to Facebook is easier than ever

October 27, 2009 in Site News by Ted Mann

Over the last few months we’ve noticed that the simple addition of the Tweetmeme “Retweet” button has led to way more stories from InJersey making their way onto Twitter. The reason, we think, is simple: After you post a comment here, you can also put it on Twitter for all your followers to hear what you had to say.

Of course, there’s plenty of people who like to share to Facebook, too. Previously, you could always use the handy “ShareThis” button to do this, but we like the simplicity of the Retweet button (not to mention the count of the total number of times something has been shared). So, we’ve now added this same type of button to share stories on Facebook.

sharing is caring

Happy sharing!

This little birdy told me about InJersey’s new “ReTweet” button

August 4, 2009 in Site News by Ted Mann

To help make InJersey even more Twitter-friendly, we’ve added a retweet button to the bottom of every post on our town blogs.

This button taps into a service provided by Tweetmeme, which also does a count of how many times a given post has been tweeted.

It’s far from exact, and there’s definitely a lag time, but it adds another tool to help facilitate community conversation. If nothing else, we hope it makes the process of tweeting posts a little simpler.

Happy Tweeting!
