Housekeeping
You no like my button!
So, my share button thing went over about as well as bringing Michelle Anne Sinclair home to meet mom. Any other suggestions for sharing on the social intertubes that’s less annoying?

I knew I shouldn’t have looked up that name.

Put it in normal text just to the right of “by SayUncle”.

That’s where you went wrong – you bring Michelle Anne Sinclair home to meet dad…

ALL social is annoying. That’s the point.

I just found that for me it was an interesting exercise in finding a way to excising annoying buttons and mouse-over stuff. With the tools I already had I could make it go away! Now I can do that to more “social media mouse-over-pop-under” stuff! Kewl!
In the near future that skill will become more valuable as “Social Media” gloms and sucks more and more people into-it’s terrible hole of sucking suckage.

Sorry, I never saw it. I’ve been blocking Facebook and all the other time-wasting “social” tools for some time. Two reasons. (1) Creating tools like those does not change anti-social behavior and suddenly make everyone friends. (2) The only ones who gain from the use of FB and Twitter, et al, are government surveillance databases.

Ummm… Cut and paste. I mean come on. We can handle and shoot a variety of firearms from many different mfgs, reload our own ammo, make hilarious but insightful comments, but we can’t/won’t cut and paste a link?

I don’t care to consort this those of the marketing race.

A button that has to be clicked on instead of moused over wouldn’t bother me, my big peeve is the ones that pop open for no other reason than my mouse curser got to close. Though the previous one was a bit big for your standard post size, so +1 to the idea of adding it to the “by SayUncle” line.
I’ve used the “share to Facebook” option on occasion, and having a spot to email the link to myself has come in handy when I’m using someone else’s computer, but I also have no objection to having to manually cut and paste the link and first line of text for things I want to share.

What Ruth said.
A button you have to actually click is not an annoyance. Those damn button/advertisement links that open shit up just because my mouse pointer got close are.

Also Linked-In is a Facebook property – so beware your circles (circles within circles) of friends AND of random former colleagues at various past Salt Mines…

Click on selected post, copy URL and paste into an e-mail, like everyone else. What’s the problem we’re trying to fix?

Laziness, apathy, ignorance, stupidity, out of control government, loss of rights under color of law, tyranny, loss of liberty, Donald Trump’s hair… take your pick.

I was wondering what was up with all the button hate on that post. By the time I came along it was gone, I guess the commenters got their pitchforks and torches and took it out.

If it just didnt drop down into a larger box when your mouse hovers over it I think it would have been fine.Maybe they have a smaller size that wouldnt get in the way.
