I’ve added a new social networking button from ShareThis.
It’ll appear at the bottom of posts and allow submitting posts to Digg and all the rest, as well as emailing posts. I’ll be running it in parallel with the FeedBurner social links for a while, to see what gets used more.
Why ShareThis?
One of my students recently graduated, and is working for the company. He was in today telling me about the service, so I figured I’d give it a try. I haven’t used it enough to know if there’s a big advantage over the other social bookmarking aggregators or not.
What do you think? Do you like the widget it pops up more than the FeedBurner links, or vice versa?
I’m using the original WordPress plugin on my blog but I took a look at the updates via this group. Not a bad idea. I’m going to sign up and see if it offers any rich features that the original didn’t.
I’d like it better if it didn’t take a mouse click to show the various sites. In that respect, Feedburner’s links seem to be more convenient.
