ShareThis 2.0

ShareThis is a web service that lets you instantly access all of your profiles, blogs, friends, and contacts for easy sharing of web content. Now, the company has just announced a new version of the popular ShareThis button, ShareThis 2.0. The button, designed for content publishers, lets your site’s visitors easily share your content via social bookmarking websites or by emailing the post to a friend. With ShareThis 2.0, the button has gotten a major overhaul. You can now configure the button type, which social web services you want to include (including Facebook & MySpace), and you can even pick colors that match your website. You can also now share via IM and mobile chat protocols, like SMS. There are new tracking reports so you can see how people are sharing your content. (These will be available after the button has collected a month’s worth of data). However, the biggest news is that the new button supports non-WordPress platforms, so you’ll probably start seeing a lot more of this button soon.
