AddThis Toolbars Downloaded Over 1,000,000 Times
January 20th, 2010 by Justin ThorpToday, we hit a milestone: the AddThis toolbars for Firefox and Internet Explorer have been downloaded over 1,000,000 times.
We’ve been totally blown away by how quickly the toolbars have taken off and grown at a rate that we didn’t expect, particularly considering the relatively short time that they’ve been available. It hasn’t even been a year since we built the first toolbar at a company hackathon.
An interesting fact, the people who share using the AddThis toolbars like to share a lot. They share 2-5x more often.
This milestone speaks to an increasing desire our users have to share content they love with anyone they want, however they want. We’re working hard to make that vision possible. I’m really excited by the opportunity to innovate around these products and evolve them in the future.
So, have you tried the AddThis toolbar yet? I’d love to hear what you think. What are your favorite services to use with it?
If you haven’t tried it, the AddThis toolbar is available for Firefox and Internet Explorer. If you don’t use one of these browsers, we also have some other browser sharing tools like our Google Chrome extension and AddThis Bookmarklets.
Have fun sharing!
Hi,
Firstly I would like to wish a very Happy New Year to all the AddThis Team.
I’ve been trying your buttins since last August. I also see it more and more all around when I wish to tweet . You’re doing a great job.
Thanks a lot and good luck
Friendly regards
Umit
Congratulations on the tremendous success! I’ve been using the AddThis button on my blog since I’ve started out blogging just under a year ago.
I haven’t tried the toolbar yet but will be downloading the Firefox one now.
All the best in your continued growth!
