feedback on the share buttons...

so I think I can safely assume that the people reading my blog regularly include most of the 'power' users on this site. 

AS you undoubtedly noted,  we added a few 'share' buttons to the bottom of the blogs.  This is a quick test of something I've wanted to do for a while (i couldn't get the programmers to do it, so I went and did it myself!)

Anyway,   have you guy's tried it yet?  Please try sharing a few of your favorite blogs or pages on facebook, twitter, etc.  (and more if you have a weibo, kaixin or renren!!!)

Do you find it loads really slowly?  does it look really retarded on a certain browser? (IE6, I'm talking about you!)

I have noticed that sometimes the pages are fully loaded but the 'loading...' wheel never actually stops....  anyone else having this problem?

ps - we also changed the artist listing page:

http://www.alivenotdead.com/artists.html and a little bit on the front page (added facebook and weibo fan blocks).

http://www.alivenotdead.com/

ps - if anyone finding this blog via Google needs help on making share buttons for Facebook, Twitter,  Weibo, Kaixin or Renren,  please let me know.  (especially for the chinese sites, there isn't a lot of information about this out there in English!)

pps - painfully close! tomorrow for sure!

tags: Weibo share button,  Kaixin share button,  renren share button,  facebook share button,  facebook like button,  share on weibo,  share on sina weibo,  chinese SNS share buttons,  twitter share buttons

miss scarlett - it will just share a link to your page, but they won't be able to see the actual entry unless they're logged in. (and it will tell them that).

joanne - still a few tweaks to be made... including making it more attractive. :-P

senh - we're slow! so far the response seems to be OK. I think on a blog-by-blog basis, it will only really have a big impact for the top artists. EG: http://www.alivenotdead.com/vannesswu/Noah-s-Ark-profile-1029273.html (already has 138 shares/likes in the first day). These kinds of blogs will snowball to get more exposure... but the secondary reason to do it is to add an additional layer of feedback/gaming/points to the blogs... it appeals to some people (like me!) :-P

senh - we're changing the background now (in the next few minutes). its hard to make them match all the different page backgrounds (basically the facebook share one is the big problem...)
