From bug 875062 comment 43:

I think that our next step should be outlining 3 A/B tests we can run for placement and 3 A/B tests we can run for button design:

For location I suggest:
1) Top of the page under the title
2) Inside the right column TOC, at the bottom, if there is one on the page
3) End of the article (where they are now)

For button design I suggest:
1) Current design
2) Logo only, with no heading
3) A derivative of the fellowship design

First step on this is designs; second step is the test; third step is deploying the most successful combination.

Attachment: 3 styles in 3 positions

Here's a screen shot of 3 different styles displaying in the 3 different positions.

For the tests, of course, only one style at a time will be visible in one position at a time.

Bug 1145630: Social Sharing A/B tests

Styling for 3 different types of buttons going in 3 different places.

Classes:
.share
.share.share-group
.share.share-thin

All hidden by default at the moment and need the class .show added to them to display.

Making this depend on the bug for storing the shortened urls in the db.

Comment 5

[Luke Crouch [:groovecoder]]

In bug 1182210 we decided not to store the short urls from bitly, because bitly charges extra to preserve the utm_* parameters. So, for this bug we need to change the share urls from short urls to regular long urls, which is bug 1194257 now blocking this bug.
