Social Networking Buttons

[Deleted User]

Everytime I see a good thread on GBAtemp i yearn for a Facebook/Twitter like button so I can say I genuinely like that post. Sites such as Kotaku have a Like button, but I acknowledge that they aren't forums.
Even Twitter buttons - imagine I see a piece of news on the homepage (Portal?), possibly "3DS Hacked", etc. I can press the Tweet button or the Facebook share button to share my discovery.

Imagine Thread "x" is about a new 3DS game, and forum member "xx" has posted a reply, I can like the reply on Facebook and on my news feed (for Facebook) it will appear that "I" have liked "GBAtemp - new 3DS Game - xx", and if I like the thread 'GBAtemp - new 3DS game', it will appear on Facebook that I have liked that.

I'm curious to see how such an idea would work here on the 'temp; and maybe these buttons could determine where a thread appears, and replace/work with the star rating system (ie 58 likes vs 50 likes, thread with 58 likes appears at the top)

No
NO!
NIEN!
Nothing more would ruin this site than a link to those sites.

Not anymore, the account's still there (simply because I am too lazy to delete it) But I just made an account to see what everyone was talking about.
Turns out the site is just a half assed sorry excuse for an upgraded Myspace.
So I never logged back in

I agree on Catboy.

Or maybe an option to turn them off/ to completely destroy any evidence linking to social networks

The whole thumbs up/down idea was retarded since the beginning. If you want to share, copy and paste.

I know I don't speak just for myself when I say I'm tired of seeing facebook buttons every-fucking-where

I need a like button for that post.

the new-style portal that was introduced for e3 last year already has like buttons for news posts

Spoiler: LIEK MEH

would it be so bad for that like button to add a post your your facebook wall like youtube does when you like a video?

I know

They are even on porn sites! I am not even kidding, I went to one and on the side of the videos there are now facebook "like" buttons and it really led to facebook! I was like o.O WTF is that doing there?

Might as well add a digg (lol) and reddit button.

Also MySpace and all them shit social networking sites.

 

[PettingZoo]

it's just too unnecessary, the Temp is just fine without the nonsense of goofy add ons

Wait, doesn't this defeat the purpose of this topic?

i don't see how...
from your end the site would look 100% the same (as i said, the like/dislike buttons are already there)
the only people that would notice would be people browsing facebook that see your status about it

no them buttons are fucking annoying i hate them and they always pop open themselves and won't close. fuck facebook

 

[nryn99]

no. i admit i'm on fb. but i'm like a ghost there. i seldom post stuff. sometimes i get into fights.

 

[dinofan01]

In no way do I ever feel the need to share the information here with my IRL friends.If they were interested they would be here or I would tell them personally. I dont need to advertise my "nerdiness" to everyone.

The crap you are talking about is "Add This".
That shit is the worst I've ever seen.

Guys, these are unobtrusive and handy > http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Every good blog has them, including mine, and they are really, really handy. One click, and you can tell everyone about the 3DS! Or lead them to an EOF argument; or send them to a topic blasting Pachter!
