Browser and Drupal social media plugins help visitors share your content among their online networks. The AddToAny Drupal module adds a small group of buttons at the bottom of your pages. This is common among a lot of popular blogs and they’re small enough to have no negative impact on user experience (UX).
This makes it easier for visitors to share links on over 50 social services including:
- Line and other SMS and mobile text messaging apps
- Popular social media platforms like Twitter
- Buffer social media manager
- Trello kanban
- And many more
