Updates and an announcement from LWNUpdates and an announcement from LWNPosted Jul 5, 2012 8:29 UTC (Thu) by fb (subscriber, #53265)In reply to: Updates and an announcement from LWN by Cato Parent article: Updates and an announcement from LWN
> On promoting the site - some of the standard things such as Facebook Like button, Google +1, 'Tweet this' etc would help a lot I think. Really just an evolution of the Post a Link feature, and could be hidden under a 'Share this article' so it's not too visually intrusive.
+1.
AFAICT this is the site promotion strategy with the best `cost & benefit` ratio, as it leverages the fact that there are so many respected technology folks who are LWN readers and who should have a fair a amount of potential LWN subscribers as followers on Google+/Tweeter/etc.
I know we already have "Post a Link", but increasing the convenience of posting links at Google+/Tweeter/etc should increase the number of actual posts.

And that would be a good promotion of plugins like FacebookBlocker, too. Are there things like that for google+ and twitter ?

I am well aware of the concern with privacy that LWN readers share ;-) as well as the sensitivity to anything created in the internet less than 20 years ago that many here seem to also have. `The internet was fine as it was in 1992, IMNSHO, why couldn't it just stay like it was` :-P

+1 to social link on a seperate page.
+2 to additionally use a two klick method like on heise, see here (german)

disconnect.me is a plugin for google chrome (and chromium) that works for digg, facebook, google, twitter and yahoo. I quite like it.
Having said that, I believe it's possible for a website to construct 'like'-style buttons which do not damage your visitor's privacy: it's just that the default ones supplied by the socials do.
