Here are some more tips for sharing to your stream:
- Share visual content. Add photos, videos, or links to your posts. Simply drag the photos, videos, or links directly to the share box. To add a link, just find the icon that's next to the URL in your browser window and drag it to the share box.
- Grab someone�s attention by mentioning them in posts. Say you�re creating a post based on a user�s question, or you want to respond directly to a customer in the comments. To really grab their attention, try �plussing� (or �mentioning�) them in your post or comment. This will alert the customer to your comment, and bring them back to the post. To mention someone:
- Type +[person's name] or @[person's name]. (You can also type their email address instead of their name.)
- As you type, an autocomplete list of people will appear.
- Select the person you want to mention.
- Add style to your post.
- Use underscores to italicize. _?italics_ ? italics
- Use asterisks to bold. *?bold* ? bold
- Use hyphens to strikethrough. -?strikethrough?- ?
strikethrough
- Use underscores to italicize. _?italics_ ? italics
