Social Email Services

To share your page in Social networks, your page must have meta tags for Page title, Url, description and image.

Page Meta Tags

I have mentioned the meta tags of my application page in the following code,

<meta property="og:title" content=".Net Bug Buster" />
<meta property="og:description" content=".Net Bug Buster is my personal blog where i can post ASP.Net, C#, Linq, Kentico, Sql Server, MVC and Azure related articles." />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://dotnetbugbuster.byethost7.com" />
<meta property="og:image" content=http://lh6.ggpht.com/-adYMuOAYGu0/URlVhxyJk-I/AAAAAAAAE58/CjTB9yVO7Dw/Ghost-who-walks7.png?imgmax=400" />

Social Network Sharing

Every Social network have share link, you just need to pass some parameters like Url and summary, etc.

Facebook

I have mentioned the code snippet to use Facebook share here,

<a title="Share on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://dotnetbugbuster.byethost7.com" onclick="popupwindowAtCenter(this.href,'Share on Facebook',600,600);return false;" >

Twitter

To tweet on twitter it requires Url, source and tweet text. Here you just need to remember tweet should not more than 140 characters including text and Url.

Below I have mentioned the code snippet to use twitter sharer:

<a title="Share on twitter" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=.Net%20Bug%20Buster&source= dotnetbugbuster.byethost7.com&url=http://goo.gl/HeCZpI" onclick="popupwindowAtCenter(this.href,'Share on Twitter',600,600);return false;">
<img src="http://stage.nursingcenter.com/app_themes/share_icons/twitter.png" alt="twitter" /></a>

LinkedIn

<a title="Share on linkedin" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://dotnetbugbuster.byethost7.com&title=.Net Bug Buster&summary=.Net Bug Buster is my personal blog where i can post ASP.Net, C#, Linq, Kentico, Sql Server, MVC and Azure related articles&source=Nursingcenter" onclick="popupwindowAtCenter(this.href,'Share on Linked In',600,600);return false;">
<img src="http://stage.nursingcenter.com/app_themes/share_icons/linked-in.png" alt="Linked In" /></a>

Google +

<a title="Share on Google+" href=https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://dotnetbugbuster.byethost7.com&gpsrc=gplp0&btmpl=popup#identifier" onclick="popupwindowAtCenter(this.href,'Share on Reddit',600,600);return false;">
<img src="http://stage.nursingcenter.com/app_themes/share_icons/gplus.png" alt="Google +" /></a>

Reddit

<a title="Share on Reddit" href="https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=http://dotnetbugbuster.byethost7.com&title=.Net Bug Buster" onclick="popupwindowAtCenter(this.href,'Share on Reddit',600,600);return false;">
<img src="http://stage.nursingcenter.com/app_themes/share_icons/redit.png" alt="Google +" /></a>

In the above links, to open a page in popup window I have used the following JavaScript function,

<script type="text/javascript">
function popupwindowAtCenter(url, title, w, h)
{
var left = (screen.width / 2) - (w / 2);
var top = (screen.height / 2) - (h / 2);
return window.open(url, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no, width=' + w + ', height=' + h + ', top=' + top + ', left=' + left);
}
</script>
