Working with Social Media On Your Site

The Social Media features provide you with easy ways to get your constituents actively involved in spreading the word about your missions through their personal networks and social sites.

For example, the Social Sharing feature makes it easy for your constituents to share a link back to a site activity or event page with their friends on the popular social web sites, such as Facebookand LinkedIn. The Open Authentication feature enables your constituents to use their logins from their social sites to make it even quicker to post comments on their social pages. (Note that these features require a (Gigya account.)
