ShareThis was founded in 2007, and offered one of the first embeddable share button widgets for web publishers. The tool was a valuable addition to a publishers site, allowing their readers to quickly share a piece of content to a growing number of social networks.
ShareThis offers it’s tools and services to web publishers for free. In exchange, ShareThis collects interest and intent data through the javascript that powers the tools, and re-sells the data to brands, publishers and agencies in the form of audience segments, and raw data.
This project was completed over a six week period in early 2017. I worked in close collaboration with a product manager, and two engineers.
