Our very own "Share This" like the AddThis Widget - Preview
We are currently developing our own "Share This" widget like the popular Add This Widget that you find all over the web. We were asked to develop this because the "Add This" widget pulls analytic information to addthis.com. With our widget the analytics information is yours and yours only! This is highly customizable and works in all the testing we have done for it. We are still working out how the final skin will look and what the "Share This" button will look like, but otherwise, it's pretty much there!
Here is a sneak peak:
As you can see the widget is powered via jquery--a script library that is seemingly endless. I put this together using a tutorial and information provided by Mark S. Kolich from http://mark.kolich.com. (That links to the actual post about the widget). We have styled even our basic design up just a little from his, but the programming side and info he provided was the key to making this work! So thank you Mark for the work you did--in the end it helped us develop a cool tool!
Our final version with code for a free download will be made available in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for it!
