I am still amazed by this. Here locally we have a "social" site run by our local newspaper called myachome.com. However they are really only partially social. You can't be using Google Chrome to access the site. If you are, you get the error message to the left. So the lesson is, If your goal is to grow your user base, I wouldn't alienate an entire user group based on their browser choice. Has any one seen other web sites doing this?

RedSocialStream is a great component for sharing your Joomla! posts to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn  and YouTube. When you post an article to twitter if the introtext is longer than 140 characters the RedSocialStream component trims the post at the 140th character and offers no back link. I don't post content that is only 140 characters so I came up with a little work around to shorten and add the URL of the content to the tweet.

I also don't want to post the entire article to Facebook or LinkedIn either, I would like users to come back to my site and find other useful content so I want to append this URL to any post on those networks.

RedSocialStream is a great component for sharing your Joomla! posts to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and YouTube, However there is no support for K2. I don't really expect it to be supported but I use K2 to manage my content and would like to post that content, so support for K2 in RedSocialStream is a must. I will show you the changes I made so you can do the same if you need to.
