Share This is one of the worst sharing plugin. I have ever used in my career. It just increase your website load timings, also delays the browser side rendering of your website pages. My advice is to stay away from such a buggy product. There are already number of Sharing Plugins..

Hey Bro,
I am really happy to share what i am using?
Firstly I used the AddThis plugin on my blog.
But presently i’m using ShareBar and Sexy Bookmarks.
These 2 plugins are working fantastically on my blog.
Although some plugins takes a lot of time to load but these 2 are not so. They both loads in normal time and works best for my blog. :)

I’m currently using Po.st. It’s a single JS code, so it’s lightweight and doesn’t affect my load time on my site. They have every sharing option available, just like the others, but the kicker is that they help me make money by showing an ad after someone shares my content. I don’t believe that any other sharing tool does that.

I currently customized the social buttons on my site, but from those you have listed, by far sharethis is the best solution for a single reason: you can track with Google Analytics. In this way you can see which articles are being shared the most and invest more on articles like those.

This is yet another great list of plugins. I’m a big fan of Digg Digg! I took out the rest of the social networking plugins and stuck with just one to make it easier for everyone to share. I’m sure they work the same way. Great Post!

Yeah. Seems to be. Here is solution for this!

Just install any of floating social sharing plugin. It will add floating social buttons to left side of your page. And then goto addthis.com and get social sharing buttons and place their code after post. It will do all things you need! :D

Hi,

I’m still not able to decide which one is the best. I tried some of them but was not satisfied. Currently I’m using social sharing option provided by Jetpack. I think Sexy Bookmarks would be better for Posts. What do you say?
