Sharing is caring with AddThis

As a user of my own blog, I'm always looking for compelling ways to make it more inviting, more "user friendly", and more caring...and by caring, I mean sharing! Introducing my next little gadget, AddThis...What a great tool!

Just signup, select a button type/style, choose where to add the gadget (e.g. blog), and GO! From a user experience perspective, it allows for instant sharing with the world at the click of a single button, making it so easy for visitors to bookmark and share your content with other people. Choose to share to del.icio.us, Facebook, MySpace, or by E-mail. In addition, it provides valuable Analytics about the bookmarking and sharing activity of your users...did I mention it's FREE? WoOt!

Try it now by hovering your mouse cursor over the "SHARE" button at the top-right of my blog, and select your most favourite bookmark sharing tool!

EDIT: You can now find the "SHARE" button directly at the END of each post, which allows you to share specific topics easier!
