Mafia Wars “What else you got?” Achievement 2

Posted by Trey Connell on August 10, 2009

Well, it seemed like it took a lifetime, but I finally got the”What else you got?” achievement for completing all the job tiers in New York. I can finally call myself a “Master Boss”. Not sure if it means much on a resume, but I’m going to brag about it anyway!

Social Bookmarking – Individual Icons or Combination Widgets 3

Posted by Trey Connell on January 27, 2009

Bookmarking and sharing to social media sites has become a content management standard nowadays. Each story you post should allow your users to email it to their friends or post it to such sites as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, del.icio.us, reddit, digg and a host of others.

As you can see, I have the obligatory bookmarking and sharing underneath this post, but I often wonder if it would be more user friendly to have individual icons listed right below the post instead of the dropdown widget from AddThis that I use today.

I haven’t seen a real best practice for this, and viewing sites ranging from huge news outlets to small blog sites (like this one!) use a variety of approaches.

What do you think? Should icons be listed out for ease of use? Or does that sometimes cause services you use to be excluded by the authors of the site? Vote now!

Would you rather see individual bookmark and sharing icons or the widget-style dropdowns?

If you scroll down and look at the comments area of my blog posts, you’ll see that you can now login using your profile on Facebook. This lets you automatically post any comments you make to your wall updates on your Facebook page. Pretty cool huh?? Also, be sure to check out the snazzy profile square that shows in the upper right of each page while you’re on my site. I mean – c’mon – that’s just candy.

Big thanks to Ruhani Rabin for putting together the instructions for integrating WordPress and Facebook. That really made it easy to get this up and going on my site.
