Tackk FeatureSharing

Feature: Sharing

What kind of sharing of the finished product is encouraged?

Notes below about CheckThis, Marquee, Medium, Smore, and Tackk.

CheckThis

After publishing a poster you are immediately presented with options for sharing it. These include Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, and email. These same share options are always available to any viewer of your poster via the bright green “share” button in the upper right corner of the page.

Marquee

SharingMarquee provides each page with a short URL (such as mrqe.co/Pny0i3) which resolves into the longer Marquee URL (in this case,

http://marquee.by/efctesting/nifty-new-page/). Rediscovering this short URL after it is first announced can be tricky (it is on the page editing sidebar under the radio-tower sharing icon), but it can be manually copied and pasted into any tool that takes URLs.

Otherwise, sharing is limited to just Twitter and Facebook, and those only if your Twitter or Facebook account has been linked to Marquee.

Medium

The site is built to facilitate long-term community building around ongoing curated collections. No sense of a private collection apparent.

Smore

Once a flyer is published or updated some sharing options are presented: email, Facebook, Twitter, linking, or embedding. Flyers can also be exported to Craigslist to enhance advertising there.

Ubiquitous Facebook share and Tweet buttons as well as an odd “Link” short version of the URL without the title portion are all placed above the flyer, in what feels to me like a very distracting position.

Tackk

All tackks have a sharing block appended to them with the usual Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pintrest buttons.

Sharing is also facilitated by the short URLs provided for every tackk and easily copied to any service. This short URL is editable, so that “http://tackk.com/0sxic6” can be turned into “http://tackk.com/prairie” and more easily shared.

When a tackk is published with the “Share Your Tackk” button, users are offered a chance to copy this short URL or immediately share it with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Pintrest, Craigslist, Tumblr, or email.

Tackkboard Finally, users have the option (on by default) of placing their tackk on the Tackkboard, a catalog of all tackks made available with the “Browse Tackkboard” button.
