ShareThis WordPress Plugin

Most web users have noticed the “Social Bookmarking” explosion. Millions of people use social bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us, Digg, or Reddit. Eventually, bloggers started putting buttons for social bookmarking sites at the ends of their posts, so as to make it easier for readers to bookmark their posts. Eventually, that got a bit out of hand. Today, bloggers are faced with a semi-tough question: “Should I make things easier for readers, and have a bunch of social bookmark icons…or should I keep my site uncluttered and only have a few?” Obviously, most bloggers went with the second option…

The ShareThis plugin for WordPress users remedies this problem. How? It displays a single “Share This” link. When clicked, a box opens with an infinitely customizable list of social bookmarking buttons (add any bookmarking site). Everything about the plugin is customizable. You can see a preview below:
