Totally agree. Love that JS! I might do something like this for my footer.

Here’s the original sketch. See more here.

Any thought for Thanksgiving themed logos?

Here are some things I’ve noticed recently:

AddThis Main Navigation

ShareThis Main Navigation

AddThis Footer

ShareThis Footer

AddThis Button and Menu (On Hover)

ShareThis Button and Menu (They recently converted their menu to on hover as well, and made it smaller)

AddThis Toolbox

ShareThis Sharing Bar (This was launched recently as well)

So who’s the innovator? Who’s the imitator? Is this purely coincidental—do great minds really think alike?

And yes… this list goes on… I could probably screenshot a dozen more ideas that are coincidental. I’ve been working on AddThis for the last year, and it’s interesting to see some similar, if not identical, features appear in the same space. Reverse-engineering? Perhaps.

But maybe I’m jumping to conclusions… let’s say for a second ShareThis is not imitating AddThis. Instead, they just happen to test any and all ideas, and the result is their product. And maybe it’s okay.

What do you think? Is this innovation or imitation? If a competitor’s feature tests well, is it okay to copy? I’d love to get your opinion.

Wow, this made my day (above)! Our little Add-on for Firefox is the #5 shared add-on on Mozilla.com. The best part is that we have over 150 services integrated in the Add-on… many of which are my favorites.

This is what my AddThis Firefox menu looks like (above). The ones I use the most are Gmail, Facebook, and Tumblr. I really like Amazon, but it’s not really social. I wish there was a service out there that makes shopping with friends online easier. It’d be cool to have a service that’s called “buy later” (just creates a social wishlist of things you want). I’ve tried ThisNext, but none of my other friends are using it. *sigh*.
