AddThis launches Slack sharing button

If sharing is caring, AddThis wants you to do more of it, in more places.
The Vienna, Va.-based company, creator of a popular social media sharing widget, recently added a Slack sharing button to its lineup.
You probably know AddThis, though you might not have realized that you do. The widget is widely used — the company boasts that around 15 million sites have added AddThis functionality over the past 10 years. AddThis supports the usual suspects like Facebook and Twitter, but they’ve also got buttons for Pinterest, Foursquare, StumbleUpon and more.
The addition of Slack comes after users expressed interest — “this has been one of the most requested features from our users,” Justin Thorp of AddThis told Technical.ly in an email. Thorp additionally noted that AddThis is the “first website share button provider to have the option to share to Slack’s messaging platform.”
