This is about the "AddThis" extension for Firefox.
Basically it is a toolbar, and I DETEST extra toolbars, that will let you send links via to facebook e-mail etc.
The reason i use it is because there are a lot of big newspapers that are losing circulation like water pouring from a boot and are forcing people to sign into the online version to conveniently send a link in various ways, the main one being not being able to do an e-mail link from within the site without signing in.
HOWEVER....there are a lot of sites that allow one to use a direct e-mail link but the pop-over is so onerous that it won't load and even causes FF to crash sometimes.
So.. I added the AddThis bar and now use it almost exclusively, and I only send links to myself at the college for use in class so that is not a lot.
It does not have a nag or anything.
