I registered with this site last week and completely forgot to add the widget to my website. I think it sounds like a very interesting concept. Thanks for the reminder!

However, the widget seems to be a bit informal to me. I think this is worth to try. However, the widget seems to be a bit informal to me.

SocialTwist's tell a friend service is primarily for personal recommendations. Unlike social bookmarking services which redirect you to another page where you can bookmark/share the blog post, Tell-a-Friend lets you login from the widget into one of the services (GMail, AIM, etc) and announce content to your contacts in that service. So it won't really popup stuff as you have found with other services. Hope that clarifies things. If you have any problems, write to the SocialTwist support team and they would help you out. Kevin, thanks for covering Tell-a-Friend on your blog. Adding your blog logo and skinning it to suit your site is possible and is a premium offering.

I use Firefox normally and the popout worked, but when I click on "Gmail" or "AIM", nothing happens. The box that should pop up for me just doesnt. So I opened up Opera and the popout doesn't even work there. I believe it's verrrrry buggy right now or there's something wrong with their code, because 4 different computers / browsers and it won't work for me on any of them.
