ShareThis

Finally, someone has made a decent, working social bookmarking module for Drupal 6.x! Many thanks out to Jake Stawn for his hard work on the ShareThis module. Everything is working great so far.

The ShareThis module will allow you to share content from my site on a number of other "social media" sites including Digg, Reddit, Facebook, and Myspace... and I definitely encourage my readers to do so :)

Here's the download link for anyone looking to add this to their own Drupal 6 site: http://drupal.org/project/sharethis

Update: I suggested a feature to the module author earlier today to make an option to hide the ShareThis link on the article teasers (summaries in the main page for example) and he's already updated it. I must say, you're very responsive Jake.

Another update: Heh... well I bet anyone reading this thinks I'm crazy considering you likely didn't *see* the ShareThis link at all. Looks like there's still some bugs in the code because it renders fine when I'm logged in (as administrator), but isn't showing for anyone else. I'm sure it'll be patched soon. Just as I thought, already fixed.
