ShareThis has launched version 2 of its popular social sharing widget.

As we described it in What Is ShareThis, this widget has become a popular way for web sites to ease the shaing of their content around the web on their users.  Well, the redesigned widget seems to have eased it even more, and streamlined the process. Now you can import your contacts which will allow you to have more ease in emailing the item to other users, a scrolling window for al of the different social networks, will remember the last three email address you used and a whole lot more.

For right now the new version is only rolling out slowly to select site, but will be out to all partner sites within weeks, and webmasters need to do nothing.  The changes will take place automatically, and then you can go back and customize it in any way that you would like.
