Top 20 Social Bookmaking Plugins for WordPress – Share your Posts

October 20, 2008 - 140 CommentsWritten by

There are many, many Social Bookmarking options available for WordPress, I have tried to sift through as many as I could to give you the best 20.
My favorite is Sociable, which I use on this site. That is not to say it is the best, the idea is to find the plugin that best fits into the theme and style of your site.
I hope these help.

    On Nov. 3, 2008, Alex King’s ShareThis plugin went haywire. Users found that when attempting to email one blog post, ShareThis would haphazardly email another post at random.

    Hi, just wondering if you’ve run into any problems with your bookmarking plugins and SEO. I’ve used a selection, and they all seem to place their own code in the header of the page – this isn’t preferable for SEO I would imagine – current culpret: Add To Any
    Thanks
