Ibegin-share: a social plug-in maximum

Subject plugins to add social bookmarks truly inexhaustible. And the developers of these scripts are trying to make their creations more versatile, comfortable, beautiful ...

Meanwhile, many bloggers refuse to use these buttons, correctly assuming that visitors to your blog almost do not use them.

How to ascertain whether used or not? Someone is conducting a survey, someone puts a special plug, sending usage statistics about your social buttons to your server. The first likely objective picture does not open, the second too, not ice, because in the case of an accident on a server plug-in we poimeem trouble with the mapping of our blog, apart from the fact that in such a set of plug-ins sotsialok strictly defined and unchanging.

Not so long ago appeared a new generation of social plugin called iBegin Share ( Page plugin ), With which we were able to clearly answer the question: Whether the use of social buttons visitors. At the same statistics podschityvatsya script itself on your server. Counted the number of clicks on the button script in the pages of the blog (note: if the plugin is displayed in the main, you will not know which of records clicked! "), And also used by the user's actions, and transitions to backfill projects.

I must say that the developers have tried to fit the plug into it all that we can come to the head of the user who wants to save the bookmarks on your computer or your article.

The plugin is able to practically anything to be able to put social script:

  1. Add article to services online bookmarks. The default is 14 services: ibegin-share: плагин для добавления в социальные закладки
    Used social bookmarking couple of comments:
    Link on Delicious leads to an obsolete address del.icio.us, which is now redirected to delicious.com
    Yahoo link leads to a social network e.my.yahoo.com - Specially put a link, because the patched except this service there are at least 2 options to preserve their bookmark in Yahoo: yahoo myweb (or bookmarks.yahoo.com) - the first version (both links are added to the bookmarks myweb) and buzz.yahoo.com - second .
    -List sotsialok can be adjusted to this standard will have to edit the script code.
  2. ibegin-share can send a link to email a friend (or his). By the way, according to statistics, many Internet users (not booms!) Use your email to save bookmarks;
  3. Save this page to your computer as a PDF or Word-document;
  4. Email this page directly to the printer.

The only thing he can not - is to send a page or selected text to the blog-hosting services such as FaceBook or bloggers.

In this case, as I said, the plugin can use to keep statistics of social buttons. However, for the inclusion of statistics will have trouble: despite the impressive size of the script (533 kb unpacked, for comparison: ShareThis -100K, and the social script used by me , weighs only 39 kb!) many of the settings are made entirely by hand. For example, the inclusion of statistics you have to add 4 lines in the header page template and import the database dump script into the base of your blog. All this, of course, somewhat slows down the blog, but your script now maintains detailed statistics on the use of himself.

The statistics take into account the page that used a script (Note: If the script is displayed in the main, you will not know what a record is added to your bookmarks. Unless you have at home is not a record:), as well as the type of ispozovaniya (bookmarks, save or email ) and what backfill services used.

Generally, during testing the script in my head spins one word: "rich":). Do not leave the impression that this script - not a subsidiary modest element of usability blog, but far from the most basic, and almost the most important thing in a blog.
Redundancy is evident in everything from roles and ending with the appearance: if the icon, the giant, 40 by 40 px, if you look - so much as provided by 5 Skins screaming colors, built, of course, entirely on graphical elements rather big size (5 kb each set).
All this, of course, nice and cool, but, in my opinion, can and modest:)

In-general, himself, I put this plugin was not solely due to the dislike of unnecessary redundancy, although its ability to send page to email (though exactly the same as a well-known plugin ShareThis), as well as the statistics I like. How to love and to put him not only on WordPress. On the plugin can be downloaded and a version that works on any site.

Cons: I have to lokalhoste this plugin stubbornly refused to show the bookmarks saved on your computer and print as vWP 233, and in WP5.1

In addition, a comparison of the size and demands to resources available on the blog of the little java-script , which makes in-basically all the same, dictated by an unambiguous choice, if it dwell on the version number of social placement of buttons on your blog.

Here at the attentive reader should have a slight concern: - What is another way to send this page to your bookmarks? "Yes, of course, not alone, and in my opinion, this method is more elegant, easy and fast. But for him, as he pulls on a separate post - later. Stay tuned!
