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,

Eric

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.
