Pharma-Friendly Social Sharing Widget Now Available -- The share»send»save widget enables content sharing through social networks, links via e-mail, and by saving or bookmarking information to Web browsers. It's similar to free widgets currently available like ShareThis, but with one key difference: it's designed especially for the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry, so it offers added control over how content is shared.
