The icon set posted IS the social icon as it denotes a network (connected nodes).
If anything it's share that needs an icon, but 'more actions' is pretty universally understood now and is normally sufficient.
- I suspect this entire thread was just a vehicle to post the heat / tick though.bumdrizzle
- lol what?set
- Your odd note aside, the icon I posted is the share icon. It's widely used and recognised as such.set
- It's used by android..set
- And was propogated by Share Thisset

We always have all of our icons, or just the few icons in a specific campaign.
I agree with ^^ So you would click the general social icon, it would have a roll over with all of the social properties? Too many steps.
- Only in the instance when there's no practical room for all of them. What's so hard to understand?set

Can you explain why this is needed?
It's an icon for social media profiles, not sharing, I get that.
We have icons for all the social media sites. Are you suggesting one clickable icon that takes you to another page that lists all the company's social media sites? Isn't that kind of tedious? Isn't it just faster to have the 3-4 social media icons all together?
I'm not sure what function it would serve.
- A 'Share this' style icon and function for a 'Follow me'. Either as a slide out/popup on rollover. Both are pointless.monoboy
- I've explained probably five times now. If you still don't get it there's no hope for you.set
- No hope for me. Hear that, guys? No hope.iCanHazQBN

What about using the hashtag/number/pound sign?
1) Most of the major social networking sites use the hashtag.
2) One could argue, a secondary goal of a social network is increasing your numbers; be it followers, likes, shares, etc. there’s an implied association with the number sign.
3) Can’t think of a third reason.

A few points on social media follow buttons...
- Utter tripeset
- If I'm on the site of a brand I like the look of, I want to follow them on twitter so I can keep a tab on them. If I can't find the twitter link anywhere....set
- I won't follow them and would consequently soon forget about the brand. That article is nonsensical chuff.set
- I'm guessing you have a fax number on your business card.monoboy
- Like the article said, you can encourage social media interaction within your content.monoboy
- Thanks for coming in today thoughset
- Nothing worse than being forced to use some shitty embedded option. Users are intelligent enough to come back to the website of they do desire.set
- If they so desire*set
- Your mentality is to force users into doing something they don't want to. Not cool...set
- Again, you misinterpret. But I'm done now. Bored.monoboy
- I thought you were done yesterday lol. Little divaset
- Thanks for coming inset
