LouCypher, this is Jay. I developed Shareaholic. Thanks so much for trying Shareaholic!

Do note that the version of Shareaholic on AMO isn't the latest version of Shareaholic (which features Foxiewire). Latest version is currently pending approval on AMO, which usually takes a few days. You can get the version with Foxiewire at http://shareaholic.com

It is true Shareaholic doesn't give users the option to choose whether to submit in new window or same page. Shareaholic is designed so that not to modify the original behavior intended by the service owner. For example: if the default del.icio.us bookmarklet opens a page in a new window, Shareaholic is programmed to do the same. Same is the case with Facebook (pop-up), Digg, etc. We'll definitely look into giving users the option.

Toolbar button: Great point, we'll fix this for sure.

The feed: People actually really like this feature a lot! It is going to evolve over time to show all links shared via Shareaholic, regardless of service. But we can definitely make it optional.

As you can imagine, it's a fine balance between giving users too many options vs. keeping it simple and easy.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. We are constantly incorporating feedback into the releases. Please keep em coming.

I've just tried Shareaholic. Unfortunately it doesn't have options to choose to open submit page in new window/tab, and you can't share links and frames/iframes.

Also, forcing the toolbar button to always shown is a bad practice (see http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Code_snippets:Toolbar#Adding_button_by_default ), as well as adding bzzzzzzzster feeds by default.
