i think it is a good deal. I am also curious to know how much money Clearspring had to pay to acquire Addthis and also now Sharethis would want to make some changes to please the viewers to compete with Addthis.

Nick, thanks for the post buddy. Will keep you posted on our long term plans. Martin, @thorpus is correct . also, addthis is growing at 15-20% month over month. :)

Martin, as a matter of fact, AddThis is actually between 7 to 8 times bigger than ShareThis, in terms of number of unique visitors.

I remember "AddThis" back in 2006; it definitely started to become a recognizable standard ... but the organization ultimately let it die and didn't have the relationships to have it implemented in the main stream at a fast enough pace to keep up with the evolving industry. I wonder if Clearspring can save it.

ShareThis is by far the new king of the hill within this space; that little green icon has become recognizable industry wide. Should be interesting for sure.
