We’ve taken a step forward creating a more open AddThis service. It’s easier to register new sharing destinations and we now do per-user customization of the AddThis menu to bring the sites you use to the top. Check out the official blog post here:

Update: Our Creative Director, Jeff Wong, wrote an awesome blog post about how we’ve made the menu smarter.

Clearspring and AddThis are nominated in a few categories in the Mashable Open Web Awards!

We’ve made a few widgets to spread around and get people voting one for each category.

Please use the widgets to vote and share them around! You can vote once per day per category – just enter your email address and hit “Vote Now”. Make sure to confirm your vote by clicking on the verification email that’s sent.

Everyone at Clearspring/AddThis thank you for the support!

Update Dec-3: You’ve helped get Clearspring and AddThis into the finals! Thank you! Now it’s time to vote again each day until December 14th. Please help us sweep this thing!

I made a Clearspring widget from the NY Times’ Election Results popup. Check it out:

You can share it around by clicking Get & Share.

A bunch of us at Clearspring can’t get through a day without Pandora’s music streaming in our ears. Me included.

But as many of you know, we’re at risk of losing Pandora due to a massive retroactive royalty hike on Internet radio stations.

To raise awareness and to let people know how they can fight back, we started IHeartPandora.com, a landing page to learn about the problem learn what you can do, and grab a widget badge to show your support.

We have three versions of the badge which you can find on IHeartPandora.com. I put the 300×250 one below, which you can grab right from here.

So put it on your Facebook, Myspace, Wordpress…. wherever… and use the email link in the widget to fire off your vote of support.

Help keep the music on!
