Social Sharing Links

15 May 2015

Since the redesign of this blog in 2007, I’ve had a few social sharing links at the bottom of each post. Last night, as I was fixing a few old bugs, I noticed these links were a bit outdated. Delicious instead of Pinboard, for example.

Here’s the new list I settled on and the basic format for each:

Twitter
https://twitter.com/?status={status}
Designer News
https://news.layervault.com/submit?url={url}&title={title}
Hacker News
http://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink?u={url}&t={title}
Pinboard
http://pinboard.in/add?url={url}&title={title}

The most notable newcomer to my list is Designer News. Choosing where I want to encourage you to share my posts is not an easy task. I only want to include a few. Of course, you can share anywhere you like, but if my choices can shape user behavior, it makes sense to choose carefully.

Now, I just need to write something worth sharing. :-)

Thanks for reading.
