Would it be possible to put social networking buttons on your news articles again?
I remember at one time you had a few, and now they’re all gone.
My Halo group has a FaceBook, Twitter, and Google+ and I often share your news with my group through those, and it would be a lot easier if your news articles had Twitter, Google+, and Face Book buttons.
I already re-tweet a lot of your tweets, but y’all don’t always put all your news from your news feed in your Twitter feed.
Thanks!
im sure they have reasons why they dont do this anymore.
I can’t understand why.
If you’re a for profit corporation having your fan base willingly pump out info on your game all over the internet is free advertising. They actually have a monetary incentive to make it as easy as possible to publicize their game for them.
Besides, the lack of the buttons doesn’t prevent it. It can still be manually copied and pasted. Lack of the buttons just makes it more difficult for fans to share the cool stuff that’s going on.
Granted we’re a small group, but we have a .com, .net, Twitter, FaceBook, and Google +. If you Google " friendly halo group " our group is the first four hits you are going to get.
I am a huge fan of Halo, it’s the only FPS I like, and I like the fact it has a full, rich universe with books, animated movies, etc. I gladly publicize the great things of Halo as much as I can because I’m a fan, and in between titles it needs all the advertising / word of mouth talk it can get.
Having the social networking buttons would be nothing but a win / win for 343 and Microsoft. It empowers your fans to advertise for you for free.
Yeah, I went to go Tweet about this:

but there was no Tweet option available. I had to do it the old fashioned way.
