ShareThis, one the Web’s leading content sharing widgets just got some new upgrades, and they are substantial.
Stream is a real-time view of what’s being shared across the Web through the ShareThis community. Think of it like Google’s scrolling real-time search results box or a stream of Facebook updates. For now, it’s only on the ShareThis website, but will soon be a customizable, embeddable widget for websites and available with an API. See how ShareThis Stream works.
New share buttons are more customizable. Publishers can now remove particular networks from the ShareThis options for users. Don’t want your content shared through Twitter, but prefer Facebook? That can be accomodated. It’s a nice way for publishers to control where the conversations about their content is taking place, or even to run A/B tests to find what networks are of most value.
