by Jay Meattle at 1pm, February 18th, 2010 | 4 Comments »

We just published Shareaholic for Chrome 2.0! This is a true 2.0 release, with loads of upgrades and new features.

  • Full lightbox support! This means for services like Google Reader, Evernote and Posterous you will now see a fancy window open in the top-right corner on the same page vs. a new tab. We hope you love this major upgrade as much as we do :)

    Sharing to Evernote from Shareaholic Example:

  • Added options page where user can choose whether to show bit.ly links or not in popup (on per default)
  • Added options page where user can choose whether to show release notes when extension updates (on per default):

Jay MeattleAnnouncing: Shareaholic Extension for Chrome (beta)

by Jay Meattle at 3pm, December 3rd, 2009 | 10 Comments »

We are super excited to announce the immediate availability of Shareaholic’s Extension for Google Chrome!

shareaholic-google-chrome

You can now share any page, anytime, from anywhere from Google Chrome using any of 80+ services including Twitter, Facebook, Google Gmail, Delicious, LinkedIn, FriendFeed, Bit.ly, etc. Use Shareaholic to make sharing online better, faster and easier — and dramatically enhance your productivity.

Important note: You will need the latest developer builds of Chrome 4.0+ to run Shareaholic. To use extensions on the Mac you have to be using the latest build of Chromium (the newest dev build of Chrome for Mac doesn’t support extensions properly yet). We expect the regular version of Chrome to support extensions soon. In the mean time, if you’d prefer you can also use our bookmarklet – which works on all browsers.

Download and install the Chrome 4.0 Dev Channel: Windows | Mac | Linux 32-bit | Linux 64-bit

As always, if you have any suggestions whatsoever for improving the extension, do let us know! Follow @Shareaholic for product updates, tips and more.

Share IconToday we’re pleased to announce the release of the latest version of Shareaholic for Firefox – v1.9!

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

NEW: Shareaholic Buzz Monitor – Enabling Discovery

You’ve been asking us for quite some time to do more on the content discovery end of the equation. The release of the Shareaholic Buzz Monitor marks our first real experiment in this area. This feature is powered by our own proprietary data-set, and those from our friends at OneRiot, and Twitter.

Shareaholic users can now easily discover and stay on top of the latest trending topics as they emerge on the realtime web. In order to share, users need to discover something worth talking about, which is why we think the addition of the Shareaholic Buzz Monitor is a natural extension of the user experience. Now Shareaholic users will have immediate access to the most chatted about content on the social web – the stuff that’s worth sharing, right now!

Do let us know what you think, and how we can improve. We continue to improve Shareaholic based on your valuable feedback.

Partnership with OneRiot

Today, we’re also pleased to announce a formal partnership with our friends at OneRiot. Shareaholic makes sharing fast and easy, helping drive the growth of the realtime web, while OneRiot organizes the realtime web and helps users find the most socially relevant content on the web. In short, a partnership between us made a lot of sense. I’m looking forward to what more we come up with in the future.

  • New destination services:
    • Su.pr Su.pr – StumbleUpon’s new url shortening service
