» ShareThis! Social Bookmarking Widget
Posted: July 30th, 2008 | Sammy Russo | My Favorite Plugins
The buzz across the web and all the Search Engine Conferences for the last couple of years has been social media marketing or SMM. The social media platform can be a very powerful tool for your blog, feed or website.
My favorite social media plugin is ShareThis! for Wordpress. ShareThis! actually started (and still is) a widget that can be customized to your liking and placed on your website or blog. With Wordpress you still have to go to the web and register for a ShareThis! Account and the plugin makes it easy to include the button in your content.
I like ShareThis! for a few reasons…
- It allows for interaction with all the top social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumble Upon, Technorati etc.
- It also has an email a friend function.
- Reporting features in the ShareThis! web panel.
- Compact.. it doesn’t add 25 little buttons to your content.
- Within Worpress.. very easy to manually configure where you want your ShareThis! Button to be placed if you don’t like the auto placement.
