It shows an attractive pop-up bar next to your authors’ names, with links to their social media accounts. On multi-author blogs, it’s a great way of encouraging your readers to connect with your authors on other social networks. **See it in action here: http://digitalshift.me/prosocial/** Features: * 40+ social networks: You choose which networks to display. Your authors can add then their accounts themselves. * Includes email: Show your authors’ email addresses as well (with a captcha form to prevent spam). * Google Analytics: If you use Google Analytics, you can see who’s clicking on what. ## Screenshots [⌊When the user hovers over the blog post author's name, ProSocial shows a pop-up bar with links to their social media accounts.⌉⌊When the user hovers over the blog post author's name, ProSocial shows a pop-up bar with links to their social media accounts.⌉[ When the user hovers over the blog post author’s name, ProSocial shows a pop-up bar with links to their social media accounts.
