I am really confused, what am I looking at? what widget? Placed where? Why? Why do you want my email? what is this??? how did this get 9 points without anyone asking?
It's a tool that enables you to create live demos of your widget on any website. Assuming that you have a widget that you would like to demo on a potential customer's website, using this tool you can do that in few seconds.

Regarding the email request, we have tried to build something simple without registration. So we are asking for the email to track how many different ppl are using it. We won't share your email address with anyone and we won't send you promotional mails.

Sorry, but I still don't get it. Does it modify what people see when they visit that website? What behaviors of what are impacted how? In terms that a naif to advertising and site design might understand.
Let's start with the fact that if that entry got 9 votes without anyone asking these questions it might means that most people got it and you were the only one not to understand the purpose of that website - that alone would be completely legitimate.

However what I find disturbing is the way you chose to phrase your questions. It's the kind of unconstructive feedback that serve no purpose other than criticize a website or its author.

I can imagine this tool being pretty useful. Particularly if you had an URL structure that let people autogenerate links.

Your demo should have default code in b/c I wanna try it out, but don't want to find some actual code to put in there.

You are correct. Till next version you can use this demo widget from AddThis
