What can I say? I love sharing links and the AddThis Firefox Add-on makes it easy for me. Well it looks like a few others, like me, are also thankful for the AddThis Firefox Add-on. Today, it passed 500k downloads.
Have you tried it yet? If not, what are you waiting for? Try it or any of our other browser extensions right now. It makes sharing links so much easier.
Today, we’re excited to announce that the AddThis sharing platform now supports link sharing to the popular social network Orkut.
Started as a project of Google back in 2004, Orkut has grown into a really popular social network, with major audiences coming from places like Brazil and India.
We’re very excited to have them join the other 198 link sharing services currently in the Service Directory. Are there any other services for AddThis that we should support but we aren’t currently? Let us know about this service.
Tis the season. No I’m not talking about the jolly guy in the red suit but he is coming soon. I’m talking about the time of year when some of the biggest industry observers and luminaries within the Web industry hold their award competitions.
First is Mashable’s 3rd Annual Open Web Awards. We’re so excited that AddThis is a finalist within the “Best Social Media Gadget” category.
Secondly, the 2009 Crunchies Awards are now open for nomination. This is the award competition co-hosted by the publications GigaOm, VentureBeat, and TechCrunch.
If you have a few minutes, would you mind giving us a vote and a nomination?
We thank you so much for your continued support. Over the last year together as partners, we’ve been able to build something great with AddThis. We see these two award competitions as a great opportunity to let the world know about what we’ve been able to do together.
We weren’t kidding when we said we want to make it easy for anyone to share the content that they love anywhere on the Web. Yesterday, we added 30 new link sharing services to the AddThis Service Directory. It brings the total up to 198.
Among the new services you’ll see everything from Koornk to Read It Later to meinVZ to Scoop.at to Aviary Capture to Blip.pl and go-testmany others.
Recently, we’ve been swamped with requests for new services. We’re moving through them, approving, and releasing them as fast as possible. For those that we haven’t gotten to yet, we appreciate your patience.
If there is a site we don’t support, please let us know about it. Check out our recently redesigned AddThis Service Directory submission page.
