Overview

If you install this plugin on your blog, your visitors get two buttons below your posts and pages:

  • A Facebook “share” button
  • and a Twitter “tweet” button.

These are not the standard Like- and Tweet-Buttons, which also display how many people have clicked on it so far, but basically pure and simple html-links.

DISADVANTAGE:

  • Less interaction.

ADVANTAGES:

  • It’s faster. Your blog does not have to contact Facebook’s and Twitter’s servers.
  • Better privacy. No information about your visitors is sent to Facebook or Twitter. Nota bene: Facebook’s standard like button allows Facebook to track your visitors even if they do not click on it!
