Going social baby!
Today Rukiafan and I have fully integrated Facebook and Twitter into WiiWareWave! First let's take a tour of the new side menu options in the Portal.
The first one you'll see is for registering as a member through your Facebook account, this obviously is mainly for convenience for guests to quickly and easily register, however any existing members can create a linked Facebook account if they want to do so.
The second new option is the Facebook page like and follower button that shows a facepile along with a button to like WiiWareWave!
On the Homepage just under the recent topics box we have a live feed of recent mentions and WiiWareWave page links tweeted at Twitter!
On the side bar on the Homepage we have a Facepile followers list without a like button and a Twitter follower + Follower Visits which updates our follower count every few hours and allows Twitter members to show that they've visited by signing in on the feature, which I don't believe that it reads any Twitter member information.
Well what do you think of these new optional social features? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

[Update!] We now added a very minor visual update that shows your avatar next to the quick reply box at the bottom of topics and articles!

Not really something I'd ever use, but I know there's a lot of other people who would take advantage of these features.

It looks like everything is working......except the sign up using Facebook feature, so I guess I'll have to remove it for now.

Where have you been KingreX32? Could you please let people know that we have open reviewer and news anchor positions that need to be filled while most of our staff are away? This is getting tough to handle with so few of us being available to work on the website.

I'm loving this update, but I don't think that the register with facebook button is working
I like that facebook faces thing that only shows the faces of people you actually know of course that only makes 1 face visible in my case
