It was added about 15 minutes ago... Ignore it unless you have a twitter, Facebook, or google+ account. Essentially, it allows those users to "like" threads on those social media platforms.

Does this mean that we will be bombarded with request to join facebook?HRP

Of course. I worked out a deal with Facebook. For every greasy bastard car guy I send their way, they send me one Benjamin. On top of that, I sold our user database and all of your personal information to Facebook for 1.2 million and a few shares of stock. I figure after the IPO, I will have plenty of cash to fight off any of the legalities that comes as a result.

But never mind all of that... Just enjoy the H.A.M.B. and if you get a chance, could you please add your income level, height, weight, sexual preference, and other interests to your profile page? That would be great.

.....

Kidding of course... The answer is no. It's a completely passive button. I don't actively promote anything, have never sent a mass email in my life, and have no plans to do so. "In your face" marketing isn't my bag.

Ryan, what does it pull the thumbnail images from? Could there be a more generic option?

Did the social media implementation get yanked? I was going to share my new classifieds on Facebook.

**Ryan** · 08-27-2012, 03:21 PM

Yeah, I got too many complaints... i guess people hated it.
