Hello everyone!
The Social Follow beta is evolving and with it comes more features. One of which we’re specially excited about.
You can now create a Social Follow Profile for each button you have that will hold a search engine friendly URL. This means you have to claim your name, as they are unique. If you have a business, we suggest claiming that too. Remember, each button can have a profile.
What do these profiles look like? Well, here’s mine:

If you’re worried you don’t have a twitter or don’t have a blog, don’t fret, it is customized to what you have. You will also notice that it adds a “Social Site” to the Social Follow button itself.
Here are a few more profiles:

So, how do you do it? Simply create a new button, or edit an existing one, and go down to the 4th option. This option didn’t exist before.
Select the option of “I want a Social Follow Profile” and fill in as many of the details as possible to get as complete a profile as possible. You will see there is a plethora of options you can choose from.
Have a great day!
