I need to send this article to our content team. They insist on using AddThis on our content section of our site, but it's awful. It results in 11 HTTP requests and 131 KB transferred (of the 1.03 MB page weight of our homepage). It also includes a ridiculous number of services to share to. I haven't heard of 90%+ of these services.
they're constantly changing and every network is different...
slowness is caused by the latency of the social media sites servers and the fact that they often load 30+ images, cookies, etc. for that stupid little button...
best thing to do is make your own (with async scripts) or use something like http://www.addthis.com/
Websites aren't outdated, she just found a valid strategy for her.
In this case, Facebook / Instagram works like a Marketplace - they already have the audience, you just need to show yourself.
There are benefits, but also many downsides and limitations. I don't know about instagram, but Facebook owns every photo you publish there (check their TOS). Also, you have little to none layout freedom and at any time, they can remove any of your content if they decide it violates some rule.
With just a facebook/instragram page, you can't use things like Google Adwords (you can use Facebook ads though), since they domain link isn't yours.
On a webiste however, you have more freedom to design around your brand, you can work the SEO of your content, you can provide unique services and you can gather metrics (Google Analytics and such) to know who is visiting you, where they come from and what they want.
A website can work as a central point for all marketing campaigns - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Add something simple like the AddThis button on your pages and BOOM! You can share your website on social media.
Now, the main question is: What works for her business? If she is going to get a website, but no SEO, no promotion, no metrics, no unique features, than it's better to stay on Facebook.
In any case, I would advice to at least buy the domain with her business name, even if it's just to redirect to a social media page.
TL,DR: It's not social midia VS websites, the best scenario is where they all work together. A website is the central hub of your online marketing strategy.
ta capture d'écran m'a fait penser à ça http://www.addthis.com/ mais ça n'a pas l'air d'être proche.
J'ai découvert http://nuzzel.com/ récemment et j'aime bcp.
Je reve d'un Nuzzel qui m'envoie les tweets retweetés un certain nombre de fois de personnes que j'aurais sélectionnées et que je ne followe pas forcément (un peu du peer-review de tweets). Avec une interface à la twitter, sans avoir à recevoir d'emails comme Nuzzel.
Addthis has a fixed free sharing bar like what you want. I've had very good experiences using it on multiple sites. Setup is really simple, gives you a decent amount of control if you want it. Let me know if you go with this and have any questions about it.
Have you tried AddThis? Not going to say it's better, but it could work for you in place of ShareThis.
You could also do something similar as the example using JavaScript.
Here are some of the available buttons, http://www.addthis.com/web-button-select
There is one JS call and the rest is HTML. You put your JS at the bottom of your page and the browser loads the buttons after the page is loaded.
The buttons w/out counters load very fast. There are other providers than AddThis. You can try various ones and test load time.
Alternatively, you can create your own buttons with your own facebook/twitter icons. But if you were capable of doing so, I don't think we would be having this conversation.
Its not even about who is physically in the white house, other than the symbolism. Barricading oneself in the white house does not confer any authority. If the rest of the country believes he is not the president, he's not. This has not normally been an issue. However assuming he loses, then he / the DOJ / OLC spouts just enough nonsense about the legitimacy or 'real' result to sway a significant portion of the population, or a significant portion of the military, its a real problem. It wouldn't be a bad idea for the country as a whole to brush up on the 'corner case' election laws; like how a contingent election works if there are insufficient electors, or what happens if there is no election at all.
Will be remembered as his greatest presidential achievement
I'd say it's kind of accurate. Especially with that adjective.
better?
The sv version is basically the same. Same definition in the same language. The only difference is the language in the menus.
I recently installed Addthis to my website to display a email newsletter signup popup: http://www.addthis.com/website-tools
For a free service, I like how you can target new and returning visitors as well as display a custom image. It also provides some weak analytics and you can connect it with Mailchimp, Constantcontact, etc.
Are you looking for an API/SDK to do a full invitation systems (invitation codes, tracking, email sending, etc?) or just "social sharing" consolidation?
For the former, I haven't seen any easy libraries or APIs that simplify invitation codes. There is an opportunity here as building this out was a pain for us, but also seems tricky since it involves decent integration with a mailing platform like Mailchimp or Intercom.io.
If the latter, I know Addthis (http://www.addthis.com/social-plugins/mobile) and Sharethis (http://www.sharethis.com/get-sharing/website-widgets/ios-android/#sthash.l2l477OK.dpbs) have mobile SDKs to add social type features.
I work for AddThis. Would love to hear more about your experiences. Feel free to email me. -
BTW - we do have some pretty good mobile sharing solutions. Like - http://www.addthis.com/blog/2014/04/15/new-addthis-pro-feature-mobile-sharing-toolbar/#.VLgxVIrF9Wg
Looks good, but there's a lot of bookmarking tools out there. What's going to be your long-term strategy? How are you differentiating from the competition?
Regarding monetization, have you looked into affiliate marketing?
We wanted to be sure you also saw our response to the article with the facts about the R&D test. We want to emphasize privacy is a top concern. We're happy to answer any questions you may have."
Apparently "Addthis" track 95% of the ads, go here and opt out, bear in mind I've spent like 2 minutes reading the articles concerned so you might wanna double check it opts you out of all the websites that use AddThis
I should also add that the opt out is cookie based so if you clear your cookies... well you're just going to have to go back and re-opt out.
I'll have a look into writing a Firefox extension, see if I can simplify the process a little.
I use addthis, which makes adding social buttons easy. They even have a WordPress plugin.
Just remember to avoid any of the buttons with counters, as they significantly increase the load time of your site.
If you use a simple button, your WordPress cache plugin will cache the button.

I gave up modifying individual widgets and just opted for a complete solution. I use http://www.addthis.com.
But if you show me the page you're talking about, I can give you some CSS that will block the counter. Just understand that the counter slows down the load of your site. And hiding it w/out disabling it is really dumb. It's up to you.
