Best Social Plugin for Wordpress Sites

    I run writtalin.com and I'm looking for some awesome recommendations for social sharing plugins. I was using Cunjo, but I had some problems with Open Graph data while running this, so I switched to a more simplified plugin (visible now), but I don't like it quite as much. Ideally, I'd want something like the one seen here: http://designwebkit.com/project-news/50-best-posts-handpicked-by-50-design-bloggers/

    Does anyone have a social plugin recommendation, preferably for free, that would give me that functionality and not interfere with OG data?

    Personally I use the "social-count-plus" plugin (it is free, please search it since I cannot post URL's). It counts number of fans/followers and has a very easy to use widget too. Otherwise try contacting the designwebkit website you noticed above, and ask them which plugin they are using. I usually do that. Hope this helps.

    Sharebar is best & suitable floating bar plugin with customized options. It adds a dynamic vertical box to the left of a blog post that contains links/buttons to popular social networking sites. You can add multiple social network icons from admin end. You can checkout & download plugin here

    This seems fantastic. 1 quick question, though: does it have a way to edit how far from the top of the page the bar starts? Having some trouble there...

    Thank you!

    To achieve this, you need to edit styles / adjust css for "sharebar" positions. You can customize the CSS by using DIV tag ID "#sharebar"
    #sharebar {
    top:35px;
    margin-left: -95px;
    }

    Slick social buttons is another option.

    Instead of a plugin I use hootsuite and post on the networks myself.

    JetPack has social sharing buttons, too. However, the Add This one does provide more functionality -- offers the chance to share in more places.
