Note also that most of us are annoyed by autoposted duplicated content that's spammed throughout social networks. It's impersonal and doesn't compel one to click in. That's why manually posting unique snippets is becoming a more effective way of promoting blog posts.

It can't be done if you are using Publicize. http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

If I manually tweet a page a text box appears and I can write a short introduction before the link but I can't seem to get this to happen automatically when sharing.

Thanks for any help.

Stephen
