Add this not displaying the title of the page, just the long url

Hi,

I have read your instructions for customising, but I can't seem to get addthis to offer the title of the article in a tweet or for sharing. It just adds the url.

Here is the code I am adding...

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div><a href="http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?s=facebook&amp;source=tbx32nj-1.0&amp;pubid=ra-4fcba80c0b652aa4&url={Permalink}" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/32x32/facebook.png" border="0" alt="Facebook" /></a>
<a href="http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?s=twitter&amp;source=tbx32nj-1.0&amp;pubid=ra-4fcba80c0b652aa4&url={Permalink}" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/32x32/twitter.png" border="0" alt="Twitter" /></a>
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pubid=ra-4fcba80c0b652aa4&url={Permalink}" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/32x32/more.png" border="0" alt="More..." /></a></div>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

To my posterous site - this is the latest story.

If you click on the tweet option in the list it just shows the url and not the title.

Can this be fixed? By the way, I would rather use the small buttons and this code, but it has the same problem.

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div><a href="http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?s=facebook&amp;source=tbxnj-1.0&amp;pubid=ra-4fcba80c0b652aa4&url={Permalink}" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/facebook.gif" border="0" alt="Facebook" /></a>
<a href="http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?s=twitter&amp;source=tbxnj-1.0&amp;pubid=ra-4fcba80c0b652aa4&url={Permalink}" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/twitter.gif" border="0" alt="Twitter" /></a>
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pubid=ra-4fcba80c0b652aa4&url={Permalink}" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/more.gif" border="0" alt="More..." /></a></div>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

I hope you can help because I want to keep using the service but may need to revert because the Posterous share buttons did pick up the title.

Thanks in anticipation.

David

Try adding the title parameter to the sharing URL, like this:

http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?s=facebook&amp;source=tbxnj-1.0&amp;pubid=ra-4fcba80c0b652aa4&url={Permalink}&title={Title}
