WordPress is my favourite platform for building blogs. The main reason for this is because of the wide range of plugins available to give your website that extra edge. I thought I would quickly share my top three social networking plugins for the WordPress platform.
Third Place: AddThis WordPress Plugin
The Addthis plugin makes it easy to add social networking links at the top and bottom of your blog posts and pages. If you don’t mind doing a little extra work it is possible to use the Addthis platform to make customised sharing links.
Second Place: Simple Facebook Connect
This plugin takes a bit of setting up on your first time but is well worth investing the time in. The plugin has a wide variety of options but is modular in its assembly. This means that you can choose the modules you need and then delete the modules you don’t – saving page load time and server space.
First Place: TweetMeme Retweet Button
TweetMeme wins outright because it has the simplest installation and it’s easy to use, direct call to action makes it very successful in getting your content retweeted.
