>there are dummy social buttons loaded by default, you have to "enable" them Neat. This looks like a very reasonable way to go if you decide to have social buttons. Is there a ready-made solution for this?

  Another is https://github.com/mischat/shareNice https://github.com/mischat/shareNice. They look like they do pretty much the same thing: Serve the icons themselves, and just make them a link to the respective services. For example: - https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=[Url https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=[Url to share] SocialCount looks like it also cares about how many times a link has been shared, and uses a server-side script to figure that out. That seems like a nice approach if you really want that info, because it doesn't let the social service track the end user. shareNice seems to have a wider range of services that it supports.

I personally like Socialite.js.[1] I'm the tech guy for a pop culture blogger,[2] and it's in use there, with a small customization to trigger on hover rather than on a click. It feels polite to the privacy-minded (like me), legal all around the world, and it uses less CPU and bandwidth by default.
