Revised twitter landing page for @addthis and @jeffwongdesign.
Just updated the landing pages (the pages you go to when you look up someone's profile)... I wanted our twitter page to feel a little bit more like peek into the AddThis/Clearspring culture. We have about 23,000 followers, and I wanted to make us feel more friendly and approachable.
I got approval from our community manager (@thorpus) to give it a try—hopefully it will be received well by our followers, and by our team. The best part about this is that there will be new photos every other day. What do you think? Overkill? Original? Uber cool?
Here's the @addthis landing page.

Vote for the AddThis Halloween Logo (sneak peak)
Each holiday, I try to come up with an original logo (under a time constraint). My hope is to try making our icon somewhat of an avatar for end users one day. I'd love to show a little personality and charisma with the orange plus.
This holiday I'd like to get your opinion. Please share your opinion, or any ideas. I will render the most popular one. (PS, I'm terrible at sketching. These were from a quick brainstorm with the team... so look at the concept, and not the execution).
1. Pumpkin
2. Frankenshare
3. Ghost
Out Takes I really like some of these, but we'll have to be sensitive about using trademarked characters and offending anyone. Anyway, I liked them so much I thought I'd share them with you. Perhaps it'll give someone else some inspiration for their Holiday logo.
(out take) Monster's inc
(out take) Devilish
(out take) HR Giger's Alien
(out take) Vampire Hickey
(out take) Running with a Knife... oops.
(out take) Charlotte's Web
(out take) Facebook Connect Mask
(out take) Zombie... mmmmmm... brains...

10 Reasons Your Team Hates You
Thankfully, I don't experience this. I've learned alot from Jim and Joel, as far as management goes... so I am relieved! Whew.
10 Reasons Your Team Hates You:
10. You don't prioritize.
9. You treat them like employees.
8. You don't fight for them.
7. You tell them to "have a balanced life" then set a bad example.
6. You never relax.
5. You micromanage.
4. You're a suck-up.
3. You treat them like mushrooms.
2. You're above getting your hands dirty.
1. You're indecisive.
I actually think #10 combined with #1 is the most important. The other stuff is easy to correct, in my opinion. What do you think?

AddThis in 50 languages. And counting. (A Visual Description)
AddThis is translated in over 50 languages, and provides the right language to the right person. In the diagram below, there are two people who speak different languages. Jeff's (pictured left) native language is Chinese. You'll notice that the menu interface automatically translates his menu and the services he uses. On the other hand, Jodi's (pictured right) native language is Spanish—look at how she gets her Spanish menu. Isn't that nice? ^_^
The logic was designed and built by the AddThis team, but the latest translations were contributed by the public. With the help a multilingual audience, AddThis is helping connect the web, in any language. I want to thank all the talented people who took the time to help us—they truly care about sharing. And they did it by using the AddThis Language Database (pictured below). The database shows all of our translated languages, as well as pending languages to be released in the near future.
Here are some of the translated buttons. You may recognize some of the languages. If you look closely, you'll even see a button that looks backwards—we flopped the button around to help anyone who shares with AddThis in Arabic, so it looks correct in their native language. See all the buttons here.
I'm really looking forward to seeing more languages... even ones like Pirate or Klingon (because we're nerds like that). Wanna give it a shot? Visit our Language Database. Or if you'd like to read more, check out the AddThis blog post about it.
Big hi-five to my team and all the talented people who helped translate AddThis.
