“Email-this” type links on articles or blog posts are so old-fashioned. Face it, nobody uses email anymore — or perhaps it is a matter of “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded” (salute to Yogi Berra). Twitter is the hot property of the moment, so why not Tweet-this. And of course there is a WordPress plug-in that does exactly that. I’m giving it a spin on the blog — go ahead and tweet on of the posts and let me know how it works for you. I saw this technique used on a ComputerWorld article, although their implementation wasn’t quite a neat (not WordPress!).
WordPress › Tweet This « WordPress Plugins
Adds a “Tweet This Post” link to every post and page. Shortens URLs. Can automatically tweet new and scheduled blog posts. Customizable (check screenshots). Also included: Plurk, Yahoo Buzz, Delicious, Digg, Facebook, MySpace, Ping.fm, Reddit, and StumbleUpon support.
Bottom line: The “absolute” security of the password matters less than the “applied” security of the password once you consider all the threats and use patterns. Sometimes you have to come up with new rules to address new threats and changing work patterns, even if that means getting flamed for challenging the “rules”.
