[GenABEL-dev] GenABEL project on social networks

[Yurii Aulchenko]

Dear All,

We had a discussion with Lennart recently, and thought it may be good if
the GenABEL project gets more visible on social networks. I can imagine
there are only few people who subscribe to RSS feeds, but many people are
using Twitter and Facebook, so for these it may be an easy way to keep up
with latest project developments.

For now we have set up an account on Facebook (search for "GenABEL
project") and Twitter (GenAproj; it may take few days before it becomes
findable).

We thought how we integrate these social networks with our existing
infrastructure, and for www.genabel.org obvious solution is to have

1) For the site/project as a whole - buttons "Follow us on Twitter" and
"Like on Facebook" (front page? where on the page?)

2) For news (and may be individual package pages) - buttons "Like on
Facebook", "ReTweet", "Share on Facebook"

Please let us know what you think - does this sound like good idea? Would
anyone know how we can easily implement this functionality in Drupal
setting we use? Any other comments welcome.

Lennart & Yurii
