Sharing widget AddThis (
), which is installed on more than 7 million domains and reaches more than one billion users per month, released an infographic Wednesday withsome interesting statistics about about our sharing habits.
Among the impressive numbers: 44% of shares occur through Facebook (), up 33% from last year (due both to the platform’s record growth and the release of the “Like” button, no doubt). Shares over Gmail (
) increased by 395%, outpacing StumbleUpon (), Facebook and Twitter (
). Shares via MySpace () and Friendster () dropped 20% and 31% respectively.
While the data gathered from AddThis are by no means comprehensive, the percentages should be relatively accurate given the sample size and thenumber of sharing services supported.
