Pie Charts and the Sharing of Them

For your blog/site/anything you'd like visitors to share: see the little button below each post? The one that says "Share" and, when you mouseover, gives a list of all the niftiest ways of sending it to a friend?

With a few clicks, you can have your own--it'll even do the annoying "add widget" thing for you on Blogger.

Better still, it will make you pie charts of its use statistics.

And what's better than a pie chart?

For new visitors, I will happily direct you to two of mine--one about why I say Yes or No to YA queries, and one about why I say no to queries in general--based on six months of data-gathering. They're cute and if, like me, you're a fan of quantitative data--a very useful thing indeed.

The share button comes from http://www.addthis.com/.

If nothing else, their list of 174 sharing services makes me feel about as tech-savvy as the average great-grandmother. But it's good information. Surely at least a few are about to take off--and you can say you knew them when.
