PC Magazine recommending Shareaholic has very special meaning for me. PC Magazine was the first computer magazine I picked up when I was 10 or so! I think I may even a few copies saved somewhere from back then :)

If you haven’t tried Shareaholic Google Chrome yet, you can download Shareaholic for Chrome and give it a whirl.

Google just announced that all Google Chrome users on PCs can now use browser extensions. This is huge because now millions and millions of Chrome users and not just the select few that were using the beta & dev versions of Chrome can now use this feature.

If you’re on a PC and haven’t tried Shareaholic Google Chrome yet, you can download Shareaholic for Chrome and give it a whirl.

Along with the announcement, Google Product Manager Nick Baum talks about his personal favorite extensions, one of which is Shareaholic! –

Today we’re pleased to announce the release of the latest version of Shareaholic for Google Chrome – v1.0.6. I am personally super excited about the new features and updates in this one!

You can get the latest version of Shareaholic here, or if you already have Shareaholic installed, simply wait for Chrome to automatically update you.

What’s New (v1.0.6):
