Improved social bookmarks for Wordpress
I further enhanced the social bookmarking options in this blog by dropping the Tweet This plugin that I mentioned in an earlier post in favor of the wordpress plugin for AddThis. This was done because the CSS sprite hack I did on Tweet This kept bugging me although it worked just fine - I hate hacks. Besides, the many icons don't really make the blog look better.
The AddThis "Social Bookmarking & Sharing Service" provides the possibility to share my blog to virtually all social bookmark services (currently over 200) with a single (!) button and also has an easy option to send links via email. Similar to ShareThis, AddThis provides me with an analytics-like overview of which articles have been shared when and where. Pretty neat. The documentation on AddThis is better than the one for ShareThis though so I went for the former.
Since with removing the Tweet This plugin the "auto-post to Twitter" option is gone I installed WP To Twitter to compensate for that. In fact WP To Twitter has more options than Tweet This, making things even more flexible for me.
If social bookmarking is a concern for you, check out AddThis and WP To Twitter.
