As a user, I find these sorts of attempts to control my experience for increased "engagement" incredibly obnoxious. At least the Ow.ly bar lets me easily turn it off permanently.
I can see myself using this! Nice job.<p>edit: Here is an example of my bar on the page shared above: <a href="http://bit.ly/TOlIDo" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/TOlIDo</a><p>edit^2: Already shared with my friends that are big into social sharing. Again, nice work.
A demo would be nice, I'm not sure I understand the concept. Do I need to login with Facebook or Twitter to see how it works, or to get one of them (whatever they are)?
First off, great idea and nice execution.<p>One small problem:
When I share the bit.ly link (this one for instance: <a href="http://bit.ly/YCabMj" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/YCabMj</a>) on FB it seems that the branded bar may be messing up the preview and causing it not to load.<p>Looking forward to seeing the progression of this idea.
Great idea guys, and well executed.<p>I can totally see how this would increase the amount of followers you would get. Agreed with with @michaelhoffman though - it would be nice to have the option to permanently remove (there will always be those that hate seeing these things).
Probably minor to most visitors, but stuck out to me: The screenshot is being taken of a localhost instance. Easy fix.<p>EDIT: Also, BrianPetro's example broke heavily for me on Mobile Safari when zooming in.
So you load the webpage in an iFrame?
Many websites wont let themselves be loaded into an iFrame to defend against clickjacking. For example you can't share youtube videos with this.
nice job!
I believe you have a "to do" list, but a mere 1 minute fix of changing the print-screen using your real URL would be nice :)<p>and ty for the inside history <a href="http://ozkatz.github.com/from-idea-to-mvp-to-1-on-hacker-news-in-72-hours.html" rel="nofollow">http://ozkatz.github.com/from-idea-to-mvp-to-1-on-hacker-new...</a>
