You will receive a lot of spam to any email address you give to sharethis.com - I would guess they are selling the email addresses to spammers.

These companys survive solely on selling YOU, not to you. They make money selling me, my actions, interactions, etc, what do they provide in return? If you want to sell me and make money off my essence how is it ok to provide nothing in return? Im begining to distrust WoT too. Look at the green and red comments. How is this "excellent" how is it ok for children in any way shape or form? Is it not illegal to track people under 13? How would they even know that besides to steal your information for resale?

wot a waste of cpu. If you have 5 tabs open each with one of these useless site refs. It consumes 1-4% per tab. That's 5% - 20% of cpu.

I have seen worse- but I block it because I am freakin' sick of seeing it pop up on every other site. I don't consider them to be one of the evil actors out there but people need to cool it with all of the social and sharing trendiness. It is doing more harm than good.

Warnings seem confirmed by Google Safe Browsing (see DarkVengeance, SuperHero58, et al.) Google excerpts are, as often, self-contradictory, viz., "Has this site hosted malware? " Yes, this site has hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. It infected 1 domain(s), including bizzybeeblogs.info/." But, then, GSB once again asserts the opposite, "Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware? " Over the past 90 days, sharethis.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites." I don't know why Google staff cannot rectify this glaring defect in their systems. Hakuna matata, to coin a phrase.
