Social Bookmarking
Today I was reading an article on Google privacy issues where the author was trying to explain the evil of the company. I, for one, think that Google is out to make money like everyone else, however they do it gracefully and with no mal intention in mind.
However, the interesting part of the article was found at the footer where they placed a widget I never seen before. It is called Add This! The widget allows any blogger, Web designer, or Web guru to allow folks to quickly add the article to the countless sites now available for social sharing.
I typically make it a habit to be in tune with all the goings on of the Web and stay up to date in all the popular sites, but somehow this one slip under my radar until today. Add this! ranking on the top 5000 Web sites of the world as measured by Alexa, seems to be a popular widget site with such sites as ABC, PC Mag, Template Monster, and many others using it, seems to make sense to start using this.
The bottom line is that sometime sis best to rely on some one's tool rather than reinvent the wheel and create your own tools. It is very easy to create and add a social bookmarking site to your pages, but why should you spend the time designing and developing it when someone else already did it and is providing it to you free of charge.Labels: Alexa, Digg, Social Bookmarking
