Nope. Also never used the G+ button. FWIW, the default subject line looks a bit spammy, but I realize there's very little that can serve as a default subject without looking that way...

A couple of observations on these "social/share" buttons. My OCD'ish tendencies are getting the best of me:
#1 The length of the bars vary (probably due to the number of characters taken up in the counter). This is easier to see when in a mobile browser as they are stacked instead of side by side:
#2 "g+" is the only one that does not have any text next to it
#3 "g+" ALWAYS starts with a +1, while the rest only count the actual shares (I presume).

riiiiight .... I was thinking this would automatically email Joe - feedback as opposed to share - I'll get more coffee now and step back from the keyboard.

The idea is you could email friends, Hokies, non-TKPers articles you enjoyed. Because we are an independent website, word of mouth and viral growth are crucial to our sustainability.

When did that make an appearance? Who does the email go to?
(That would be a negative...)

I have not but, I will starting today.
No, but i assume it would like this:
FWD: FWD: FWD: 10 LOLUVA gifs that will restore your faith in humanity
I barely have enough dork magic to post on the boards, using special buttons would be way beyond my computer machine skillz...
I want to know who shared this on their g+ account.
Paul Chryst.
If I had to guess, it was probably shared on the TKP Google+ page.

I did NOT check the date of this thread before responding ..... nevertheless,
when I hit the email button, the "to:" field in the email client is empty
here's the string - mailto:?subject=Read%20this%20great%20article%20on%20The%20Key%20Play&body=Meta:%20Has%20anyone%20used%20the%20email%20button?:%20http://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2014/october/16/meta-has-anyone-used-e...
Probably because Joe has no way to psychically predict who you're trying to email :)
