To help defray out-of-pocket expenses for the site, we've signed up a few sponsors and are now running banner ads. I'm not here to sell you anything, but if any of the products appeal to you, click on the links and the site will receive a small percentage of the sale. Occasionally there's some really good deals (Newegg is the best run electronics store on the web), and anything left over after costs are met will be donated to the Disabled American Veterans organization.
I am also in the process of building Facebook integration with the Dooferbook. Facebook is the largest social network out there and tying in with the Facebook API should help with our traffic count and make it easy to keep your information and profile current on both sites. For now, the only thing up and running is the "Facebook Share" function (right side above your mailbox) which allows you to post a link to Dooferbook articles on your Facebook profile. A popup box will appear allowing you to sign into your Facebook account and select how you'd like to share the link.
Clicking Facebook Share from the homepage will send a link to the Dooferbook homepage; if you want to send a specific article over there make sure you click on the article title to pull up the unique URL of the page, then click on the 'Share' button.
I also put in a Twitter plugin for those of you who are into posting 'tweets'. Clicking on the 'Tweets' button in an article will bring up a login page for Twitter and allow you to share the article with all your fans. Next on the agenda is getting Facebook Comments up and running. Have a good weekend!
