Last year, I wrote a post about our Social Sharing feature. This feature allows you to add icons or links in your message that your contacts can use to share the message via various social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). In recent weeks, there has been some confusion as to how each of the social media outlets displays the content you add for the social sharing links (i.e. the Title and Summary). In this post, I’ll show you how each social media outlets handles the display of your Social Sharing link content.
When you add Social Sharing links to your message using the WYSIWYG editor, you will be asked to specify a Title and a Summary. Each social media outlet handles the display of the Title and Summary differently, and sometimes doesn’t use them at all. Below is a screenshot displaying how each social media outlet displays the Summary and Title when a contact clicks a social sharing link from your message.
MySpace
Digg
Obviously for this post, I have used a generic Title and Summary. When you create your Social Sharing links, you’ll want to come up with a creative Title and Summary that best applies to the Social Sharing links you are adding. If you have any additional questions, feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
