Last Tuesday I added AddThis social bookmarking button to this blog and JUMBO Keyword .com to give me some stats on how many and what method users are bookmarking and sharing my sites.
Today I checked my AddThis stats and noticed 5 people sharing my JUMBO Keyword site using ‘other’ services not offered by AddThis. I also wasn’t that happy with the simple Feedburner RSS feed option I had because I knew people use a variety of RSS feed readers. And AddThis doesn’t offer a better option.
At the same time (I can’t recall how now) I found the Add to Any (also known as AddtoAny) which is similar to AddThis but offered many more options.
Add to Any offers:
- 123 options to social bookmarking/sharing options compared to 46 on AddThis
- 73 RSS feed subscription options compared to 12 on AddThis
- Google Analytics which should offer more comprehensive stats than the basic visitor and service stats offered by AddThis
Add to Any also offers more customization options and you don’t even have to sign up for an account.
So I replaced the AddThis buttons with Add to Any. You can check out the buttons at the top of every page. I’ll keep you posted on how Add to Any works out.
