The government provides so much great content on the Web. By using AddThis and making their content shareable, the federal government can make it easy for their existing users to help get the content disseminated to every corner of the Social Web and into the hands of United States citizens.
You can already find AddThis being utilized on federal Web sites like the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, and USA.gov. We hope to announce more agencies soon.
