Sharing the Articles

I think we have a wealth of information in our site which interests a lot of people. I think if we have share this article (in Google Buzz, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo .. or whatever) feature, it would be great.

Later we can try to implement this feature for Posts/Threads

Thanks ajith, would love to learn more about what you're describing . We do have a 'ShareThis' link on all articles and forums today. Are you thinking about something else?

Appreciate the feedback,

I do not see any share this link on the individual articles, Eric, Is there something I am missing?

I am talking about something like the attached pic at the beginning of the article or at the end (Tweet this!, Buzz this! .... Etc etc)

Thanks Ajith, that example is quite helpful. Just to confirm, the ShareThis link is not allowing you to share individual articles?

I do like the idea of having multiple buttons though.

Oh--this may be a problem if the link is buried from view!

The bottom left of all published messages has a green icon with a 'Share' next to it.

5 Star (473 Reviews)

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
