Viral Sharing Services: Doubleplusgood
We’re constantly working to improve and augment the “edge sharing” services we provide as part of the Clearspring platform — the tools that allow end users to directly grab widgets from wherever they find them, and share them to as many different target destinations as possible. For the uninitiated, by distributing your widget through the Clearspring platform, it gets all these capabilities for free (technically and financially). We’re happy to announce some improvements in our recent system update:
- Smart Menu: The menu of available services we present to end users will automatically prioritize the current site, making it even easier for users to share widgets within the network where they find them.
- New Supported Destinations: We’ve added support for some new services:
- Xanga
- Eons
- Blogger Sidebar
- Typepad Sidebar
- A new Facebook feature: more in a later post
- Progressive loading: The sharing service menu now loads progressively. This removes any barriers to serving your virally-enabled widgets through the major ad networks.
This brings the whole list of shared services up another notch, and we’ll keep going; we’ve got lots more integrations in the development pipe.
The whole list of supported destinations at this point, by the way, is:
- Myspace
- iGoogle
- Microsoft Live
- Netvibes
- Pageflakes
- Xanga
- Webwag
- Friendster
- Eons
- Blogger (post and side bar)
- TypePad (post and side bar)
Pretty cool, huh?
