This post will focus on these plugins-specifically I will be focusing on WordPress plugins (sorry Joomla, Drupal and Tumblr people! Some of these pugins will work with your platform but I’m focusing on WordPress today). There are a number of plugins that will aggregate social media and traditional blog comments into one stream on your site.
Th solution is to bring the comments made on social media into your comment stream so you can maintain all of that social proof in one place. People stil love your stuff, it’s just that they’re expressing their emotions in different places.
Adding links to your own social media conversation adds great value to your followers, while leaving a comment on a blog where no-one but the avid readers will see it does not add any value to your social media stream.įewer comments seems provide less social proof that people like your content, but this is not necessarily true. It’s more public and gives better results to share on Twitter or Facebook than it is leave a comment.Ĭurating is the new black at the moment.
People are building social media presences, and part of that is sharing great blog content and their opinions on those posts. There is a way to get the best of both worlds and aggregate comments and social media responses on your site. Have you noticed a decrease in the number of blog comments you get and an increase in Facebook likes and Twitter tweets about your posts?Īre you worried that you are loosing social proof about the validity of your posts to the social media conversation, rather than as direct comment on your site?
