Note: OP's article is from 2011. There are some jQuery plugins (started by the German publisher Heise) which implement 2-click sharing, where you have to click once for the site to load the actual Like-button, then you have to click a second time to share or 'like' it on Facebook. This way you can have social media buttons without the tracking.
