joshdance is right. I'm not undecided as whether it's obnoxious but I wanted to see how it worked out as a way to encourage sharing. I'd not seen it done before and so I wanted to experiment.

FWIW so far it's not massively affecting sharing about 5x'd the rate at which people follow me on Twitter.

I thought the quotes were good and I don't mind that they are your own tweets. I think you should remove the attribution and the date to make them more like pull quotes. A discreet, low contrast link to the tweet would let people share if they want.

It's obnoxious.

I liked the post but the quotes did come off as obnoxious. Still a good post though, so whatever.
