Do you use any social media plugins on your blog? If you know of any other great plugins for Social Media please share them in the comment area.








I love Sexy Bookmarks. I find that attractive link buttons make people more likely to click, and share, and do your promotion work for you.
Exactly Andy. Thanks for commenting.
You can’t deny the power of social media and while I used to rely on (several) plugins to incorporate it into my sites, I now prefer to hard code these features into my themes to cut out bloat and speed up my load times. However, these are excellent plugins for those who aren’t comfortable modifying themes, particularly Socialize and AddToAny (though I prefer ShareThis)
Yeah, social media buttons are very important.
Actually i also prefer the manual coding, instead of plugins. Glad you found it useful.
Thanks for the nice comment Dave. Much Appreciated.
I’m in the same boat as Dave. even though I do use sexy bookmarks I have hard coded the images and code into my theme. I enjoy this the best.
Great. Manual coding is much better then plugins.
Thanks for the comment Brian.
I suggest dig dig since this plugin allows us to integrate social media in great way.
Yeah, digg digg is really a great plugin. Actually it is all-in-one social media plugin for WordPress.
Thanks for commenting Dana.

Thanks.
