Sorry about that. We've been working on this on the marketing list for around a month. A new volunteer prototyped 4 variations of the page, with different placement and wording for the "sharing" links. We then did a controlled experiment using Google Analytics to see which variation yielded the most shares. That test ran for 2 weeks and the patch you see was to put the winning design into production. Since not everyone is on the marketing list, in the future we should update the dev list on what we are proposing before implementing it. Me bad. > The blue graphic is well fitting.

If each person has maybe 50 people in the social network (on average) then that is 5,000 extra people who may hear about AOO each day. And since they are hearing an endorsement from someone they know, the effect can be quite powerful. -Rob > Marcus > > > > >> On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 11:23 AM, Anonymous CMS User >> <anonym...@apache.org> wrote: >>> >>> Clone URL (Committers only): >>> >>> https://cms.apache.org/redirect?new=anonymous;action=diff;uri=http://ooo-site.apache.org/download%2F >>> >>> Samer Mansour samer...@gmail.com >>> >>> Hello submitting this change to allow users to 'share' the download page >>> on social media sites AOO currently has profiles on. >>> >>> Please see "[Iteration 1] Social Media Integration" thread in marketing >>> mailing list for full details how this change came about or contact Rob Weir >>> or myself. >>> >>> First time committer, let me know if I'm doing something wrong. >>> >>> Thanks!
