What is the funny green icon next to the title?

Not sure how many of you have noticed, but if you are reading this article on my blog site, next to the title is a funny green icon with the word share underneath it.  For those of you who have not clicked on it yet, go ahead and see what happens.  Nothing bad I promise.  It is actually a new widget by a company called madKast.  madKast gives you some options on how to share blog content that my FeedBurner Feedflare does not.  It is actually pretty cool.

In case you have not clicked on the madKast link by now, let me give you a little background.  madKast is a company that came out of this summers TechStars program in the Boulder, CO area. My friend Brad Feld and some of the other VC and business community from the Boulder area have given rise to TechStars and it looks like a pretty cool idea.  madKast is just one of the cool companies from it.  If you get a chance check it out.

Also, let me know what you think of the widget and if you like, of course you can add it to your blog for free as well, really easily!
