Drupal’s OnSugar Embraces Change and Adds Social Widgets

It looks like lovers of Drupal will have yet another reason to avoid switching to Blogger or WordPress.

OnSugar (which is owned by the Sugar, Inc. network) has finally embraced both Twitter and the Facebook like button, the latter which was integrated by both Typepad and WordPress two months ago in April.

If you’ve been following our Twitter or Facebook accounts, you’ll know that we’ve been working on an easy way to add sharing widgets to your site.

After a few weeks of rigorous testing, you’ll be thrilled to hear that they’re now available! If you’re using a featured OnSugar theme, the sharing widgets will be automatically turned on. (Official OnSugar Blog)

Although relatively unknown outside of the world of geeks and fashion addicts, OnSugar maintains a surprisingly robust platform that’s as open as Blogger yet is as powerful as WordPress.

Currently OnSugar is using a highly customized version of Drupal 4.7 instead of the latest version, although the interface is thus far unparalleled as far as Drupal sites go.

While the Drupal based platform has a while to go before it can challenge the major blogging platforms, it’s good to see them finally including social sharing, which could help make the blogging service more relevant.
