Which features of Facebook, Twitter, and the other major social networks have perhaps slipped under our noses?
We've put together a handy, comprehensive guide to help you understand the differences between the share and follow buttons/links for the top five social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and Pinterest) as well as how to implement them on your website, blog, and other content. You'll never have to Google instructions for individual buttons again!

This pic shows an example of a news story posted to an event page using this technique.
Facebook is now allowing page administrators to upload images to accompany external links they are posting on their pages, rather than being limited to the default, auto-generated thumbnail images the social network usually places with those posts.
You’ve probably seen a few fun symbols like musical notes ♫, smiley faces ☺, or hearts ♥ posted to Facebook or Twitter. But did you know there are dozens of interesting, non-alpha-numeric characters you can use in status updates and tweets?

LinkedIn Limits

General Info

Because engineers and designers can post their work for all to see, more and more companies are realizing they can see what people can actually do, not just say they can do.]
