I hate how these stupid buttons start popping up on every single site on the interwebz. So incredibly useless and RHGHGRHG.
I like that you keep trying to improve this site, but I have a personal aversion against these .. things.
TL keeps going the direction of all the other main stream gaming sites
I don't get why TL needs "more exposure", it's not a commercial site, is it? TL has always been a small but tight community, but this will just further loosen that up.
When Battle.net does it, it's EVIL, but when TL does it, it's ok?
They're not doing the same thing.
Not that what b.net did was bad, people were just scared that everyone could see them through facebook.

This pretty much. I detest people who can't refrain from using fb and find their reasons for using it rather ridiculous, but a lot of people do it nontheless and thus a lot of publicity is to be gained for people offering a service or product.
Youtube is entertaining while twitter condenses various streams of information to your own. I use both of them and they are really informative.
Good to see TL making progess (not that I thought TL was lacking in any way).

Or you have a reasonable argument against it...
which I don't have, but I am pretty sure they are out there. I don't like it that much, but it simply doesn't affect me besides that these shiny buttons everywhere annoy me. But I really don't care enough. As long as it is good for TL and SC2, I am fine.
Youtube and Twitter I have absolutely nothing against. Facebook on the other hand...eeeeh.
Oh well, I subscribed, liked and I will definitely follow these and help spread the word (Which I've done already to several of my friends). Good luck!
And also, what does people have against Twitter really? You choose yourself whom to follow so it basicly has no down sides at all. I mean, you could choose to just follow team liquid for that matter. And remain all anonymous.

ya thats it, brilliant analysis
i'm sorry that i don't like facebook or twitter?
i'm not a 14 year old girl with add that needs to post her whole life on internet
If you actually used Facebook or twitter(or visited, dont need an account to read twitter feeds) you would know that all kinds of people use them. But you dont, so you dont know anything what you're talking about so here is a tip: dont talk about what you dont know, makes you look silly(which goes for anyone talking about what they dont know whatever it may be).
i was talking more about facebook than twitter btw, should have mentionned that, sorry.
idc about twitter, facebook is a terrible thing that should probably be killed because of multiple reasons i won't state here because this is not a debate thread.
Nevake fighting! Seriously who is it that posts up all the BW videos? If I wasn't a poor student I would totally compensate that person in some way. Huge contribution to keeping BW alive and well.
After just reading that insurance companies abuse facebook data to spy on people's risk behavior and charge higher prices for people whose facebook profile says they like extreme sports, I can only say f*** facebook. Hence, could not care less about the facebook integration. Twitter seems a good idea, though.

No, TL is not a commercial site. Maybe, just maybe it's nice to have a means to spread what you're passionate about and introduce people to the scene.
TL used to be a small, tight community, but as a whole it certainly isn't anymore. I wouldn't even have called it that when I joined.
I don't understand how this can be anything but beneficial. There is just no argument. With the influx of new users we have seen more incredible songs, pieces of art, OPs, and of course, girl blogs, than ever before. The baddies get hammered into oblivion, no big deal.

Followed on Facebook and Youtube! I don't have a twitter, but if I ever do get one I'll make sure to follow on there too. I love the new exposure, the more people who discover this site, the better.
