Wanted to add my three cents..

I had gotten in the habit of REMOVING the last part of the AddThis javascript from the Picaflor templates when I use 'em (the part I have highlighted above in red).. If I want AddThis' analytics tracking I go to the AddThis site, signup and get MY OWN AddThis Analytics code.. Not gonna leave someone else's tracking code on mine or a client's site.
The latest changes to the way AddThis works are not to my liking. So I am thinking about implementing a social media sharing tool using one which uses social analytics via the
Google Analytics' Social Plugin Analytics.. y clients want INFORMATION on how effective social media has been for the site so they can make REAL strategic decisions. I think the latest Google Analytics feature offers just that..
I have been looking at
AddToAny because it requires no signup on the AddToAny site because the
AddToAny sharing buttons code already integrates with
Google Analytics' Social Plugin Analytics
Being able to see social analytics via an old familiar friend,
Google Analytics is appealing.. No need to set up an
ADDITIONAL account to view my social analytics stats.. No more AddThis doing whatever it thinks it wants to do with my site information, and no more blindly putting sharing buttons with someone else's tracking account on my sites either..
