Project Launch: ShareThis Widget Redesign
March 3, 2009
Cincinnati-based internet start-up ShareThis makes a popular widget that thousands of web publishers embed into their pages allowing visitors to share the content using email, Facebook and dozens of other online services. I worked at ShareThis as a full-time employee helping plan and develop a redesign of their widget, simplifying the user interface and adding new functionality. I worked to design flow diagrams, wireframes and clickable prototypes to refine usability. The new ShareThis widget is currently being rolled out to all users and is already available on select major web sites like Boston.com and AccessHollywood.com.

Mark Celsor Joins ShareThis as Interactive Lead Developer
March 28, 2008
Mark Celsor will be joining the team at ShareThis next week as Interactive Lead Developer. Mark is an Internet marketing technology expert and the famed author of official sounding, 3rd person, press releases about himself, LOL.
ShareThis is internet startup with offices in Cincinnati and San Francisco. Their flagship product is a widget that lets web site visitors easily send pages to their friends or post pages to web services like Facebook and del.icio.us. Each month their widget has over 100 million views and over 26 million unique users. There’ve also recently had a bunch of press on tech news sites like CNET, Wired, Mashable and GigaOM with news of their series B funding.
I’ll be working to help design and develop user interfaces for ShareThis. I’m really excited about working with these folks. It’s really great to see a company like this taking off here in Cincinnati. Did I mention that I’ll be able to bike/walk to work? Gotta love that!
