[Feature request] Share a bargain

SpaceNinja on 21/05/2013 - 22:31

As a user
I would like to have some share buttons on the bargain post (at-least send email, tweet)
so that I can easily share bargains with my friends when needed.

Nice feature to have? I think it will be good for the site too.

    You can share Ozbargain posts via the Facebook and Twitter feeds.

      what about people who use neither? (except for the facebook likes for freebies)

    I share things the same way I share everything - copy the URL at the top. I never understood why every site needs to add 12 extra buttons to do this same task these days.

    For each of the deal post you can already share with Facebook or Google+. I think what's requested most often is sharing via email, which currently have two approaches:

    1. Open up a form which allows you to put in your own email address, your recipient's email address and some messages. OzBargain will send the message on your behalf.
    2. A link that will pops up your own email client with some parts pre-filled.

    I don't think we are allowed or want to do (1) — OzBargain would be used as a spamming gateway to allow people sending emails. The problem with (2) is that the mailto schema has inconsistent support across browsers.
