Experience / Knowledge about ShareThis button/widgets for website ?

I ran into this on a website just now, and it's intriguing to me. Does anyone have any experience or observations to share about the tool and the company? www.sharethis.com

Great tools when considering search engine optimization allowing quick and easy submission to social and content-sharing websites. The underlying philosophy is to post a snippet of your content on other relevant sites but just enough info to entice other readers to click back to your site for the full content.
One suggestion, keep them reasonable size and out of the way so not to overwhelm or overpower your content. Remember, those are just tools and your content needs to remain prevalent.

I have the impression that this is a tool that lives on my website and allows my visitors to share my content through their social networks - not the other way around. Am I not reading it correctly?

Correct but the purpose of allowing your readers to share your content is to drive new traffic from those networks.

I found sharethis to be buggy and addthis to not be buggy. Both services are incredible similar.
