The month ended on a lighter note with such stories as Twitter launching a Follow button for websites, which is the freshest post to make our list of top 25 most shared stories.
You — our engaged readers — not only absorbed the aforementioned two stories and everything in between, but you also shared them in droves with your friends across social sites. Some of you also joined our social sharing and content curation platform called Mashable Follow, which now has more than 100,000 users, and used the M Share button to keep your online network in the know.
Based on figures from the M Share button, the following 25 stories got the most love, with number one receiving more than 42,500 combined shares on Facebook, Twitter, Lin kedIn, StumbleUpon and Google Buzz.
