Wordpress Social Sharing Buttons

[RobinOctane]

Hey folks anyone have experience (good or bad) with Social Sharing buttons on their site. We use WP on our sites but I don't want to slow us down with anything obnoxious.

Someone suggested this:
WordPress › Floating Social Bar ? WordPress Plugins

And I found this:
WordPress › WP Social SEO Booster - Knowledge Graph Social Signals SEO ? WordPress Plugins

I would find something that fits the design of your site. I also like to include and "EMAIL" option as well. My rule is to keep it clean and simple. Don't clutter up your blog with Social share buttons. Have never had an issue with the few I have used.

If you use Jetpack (free from Wordpress) it includes built-in sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, tumblr. Path, Digg, Reddit, Pinterest, Pocket and Google+ as well as an Email link.

You can choose to show icons only, text only or both. Also, you can decide if you want them to show on Posts, Pages, Media, Testimonials and the front page, archived pages and search results.

THe best part about this (besides being free) is that it is supported by Wordpress and gets updated regularly.

See that's weird, I heard Jetpack slowed things down.

I have it installed on about 30 sites. Never a problem. First time I have ever heard of that issue.
