The "agree? tweet this" link next to every singleee item in the list rather devalues the whole thing.

That'd be a good addition to the list:

They desperately try to increase their social media footprint. (Agree? Vote this!)*

Yes, it seems to "cheapen" the post and make it feel like a marketing ploy. FWIW the post didn't start off that way. Links were added on the suggestion of a reader.

Agree. And I will change it. Sorry if it made a bad impression.

I got this idea sent on twitter. I quickly did it and ran off to a meeting. I will change it now. It wasn't meant as a socialmedia hack but as a cool way to interact.

On it. Tell me in a sec if you think it's better.

If you got a second && bother. Please check if it's better now.

Thanks for the honest feedback though :)

True, but I like the idea.

I think a better way to do it would be to make the item itself a link with alt text "Tweet this".

Personally, that hashtag is so unfortunately awesome that I'm going to use it at every opportunity! #foundersexchange
