Twitter, Facebook & SG

So I'm on SG on my Android phone and I'm noticing Twitter & FB buttons everywhere. New upgrades to the site?

I guess I'm going to have to post this on every page from now on for people too lazy to read the entire thread before commenting.

I am so lame, i see them on my pc monitor.

They're on my journal entries too and I am not cool with that.

yeah...that's weird...do they go away if it''s a friends or members only blog?

Yeah, I'm seeing that too. So I could tweet my journal entries ... or yours, if I were so inclined? That's a bit weird.

All of my entries are members-only, and I'm still seeing the buttons.

No, they don't.

Should these really be on Private groups? I'd personally also like the option not to have them on my journals

friends only blogs are looking like always, without any buttons

Big +1 to both of these observations.

Also, I'm only seeing Twitter buttons ... are other people seeing Facebook buttons as well?

I am.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that even if people link things on Facebook and Twitter that non-members won't be able to see my private stuff.

That said, not everything in life needs to be linked to Twitter and Facebook.

+1 too. Not cool. I like the fact that this is a private community, and this totally goes against that. For the homepage and news articles, sure, but not for blogs and groups.

yup +1

I only see Twitter in the latest nightly build of Chromium (Not surprised, it's always buggy as hell) but both in the latest releases of Safari and Firefox (OS X 10.6.4). Your browser and OS?

Edit: Okay, now I'm seeing the Facebook buttons too.

+1

As far as I can tell, it just a shortcut to create a link to the page on that particular site, which people do the long way already, and non-subscribers still get the "Member are seeing something interesting" image. for members only junk.

plus a million to everything said here.

Put me down as another person who isn't a fan of this addition.
Like many others, I would like to keep certain things in my life seperate.
Especially since my twitter was only created because of my job.
And I definitely don't need my underage cousins see someone liked my blog.

Can SG make it so we can decide whether we want these options on our journals?
I don't want to have to start making my blogs friends only (it is a way to meet new folks).

Weeeeeird. Sid is running the same as the both of us and she doesn't see them either. Maybe I'm just special.

Complete agreement. Get rid of the buttons

I "liked" this thread, just to see what happens. As far as I can tell, it just counts the number of thumbs up. I think it's more of a facebook-like feature than a link to actual facebook.

The twitter button takes you to actual twitter with the url of the thread.

where is the button to deactivate that stuff?
