<p>When you click to Posts > All Posts in your Dashboard you’re shown all your posts. What you aren’t shown is how well these posts are doing on social media websites. WordPress Social adds a new column to your All Posts dashboard and clearly indicates which posts are being shared on social media websites.</p>
<p>With WordPress Social, you can quickly and easily see which of your posts are getting the most traction from social media websites. Through this information you can further optimise your posts for social media and ultimately get even more social shares.</p>

WordPress Social

We've had an incredible amount of fun building this plugin and cannot wait to roll out some of the features we have on our feature list.

Thank you to everyone who downloads and uses it - your support is awesome!

Just the start!

A simple plugin that shows you the performance of your posts on social media websites.

<p>Simple social sharing plugin that loads the third-party scripts asynchronously<br />
and after the page loads to improve site performance.</p>
<p>The plugin provides settings to load any of the following sharing widgets:</p>
<ul>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>Facebook</li>
<li>Google+</li>
<li>Linkedin</li>
<li>Hacker News</li>
</ul>
<p>Available display options include ability to display the sharing widgets on<br />
above or below content on pages, specific custom post types or blog and archive pages.</p>
<p>Why is Asynchronous script loading better?<br />
Asynchronous loading allows multiple files to load parallel to each other.<br />
Instead of having to wait for Twitter to respond with their script, the browser<br />
moves on and starts fetching the next request.</p>
