Hi David!

“Might actually be worth having Sharethis and Addthis running side by side.”

Yeah, you could use both I suppose.

I had a few running on mine for a while, but I’ve trimmed them right back to the bare essentials.

“Actually, I’ve just today done a post for Sciencetext on reasons bloggers should avoid social bookmarking.”

I’ll have a look at the article right now…

Actually, I’ve just today done a post for Sciencetext on reasons bloggers should avoid social bookmarking. Be interested in your thoughts, it’s a little tongue in cheek, but I hope the points are also valid in some sense.

Hi David and thanks for the comments!

I chose AddThis because it’s quite common, and I felt that most people would be at least familiar, if not also a little comfortable with using it.

But I will have a look at ShareThis, too.

Thanks for the tip…

I prefer Alex King's ShareThis, with it's very neat much more Web2.0-ish icon and dropdown menu that also lets you email a link.<br/><br/>What kind of mileage do you get with it? Maybe I'm deluding myself that readers want ShareThis and not AddThis, after all, my site exists for my readers not me!

Gets me a step farther from being the "amateur" blogger, now, if only I could figure out where the heck to copy the codes for the widgets... I look forward to reading the next one. Carolina.
