Off The Beaten Path
Buttons, boxes, and more buttons! I heard this phenomenon described so well by the writers over at mashable.com as the “Nascar effect”, and it seems that almost every site that you visit these days is trying to get you to click on one of the 500 share buttons posted on their site. While I agree that a few strategically placed buttons is great (as we have them), it is not necessary or even possible to post them everywhere? Or is it?
With tweetlighter we have taken a different approach to how we think that the web should retweet. We give users to retweet any text on any page of any site that tweetlighter is installed. As long as you have a wordpress site you can just download the plugin and allow users to retweet anything that you write.
No more buttons all up in your users faces, just a very simple and clean interface that allows your readers to retweet anything they want to on your site. We feel like we are on to something with tweetlighter and while there may be the “accepted” way of doing things right now, we think that by keeping it simple with tweetlighter, we are going to do it better and do it smarter.
Be sure to keep up to date with us as we continue on our revolution against the boxes!
