AddThis Email Sharing Service

Overview

Email is consistently one of our most popular sharing services. Our implementation overlays the interface on your page and allows you a great deal of customization for the email via our templates.

In order for emails to be sent you need to have a valid profile ID set on the page, and the note field must not have any HTML or URLs in it. The URL will be added automatically by our email system.

</script>
