I saw an amazing Sharing widget on a site today, and i searched for a drupal module but found none.

However, there is a Wordpress plugin currently.

Please, take a look at the WP plugin here:

The widget is really clean and lightweight, and i think MANY people would like to use something like that.

Another gimmicky, annoying, pathetic beg for attention. The credibility of a site goes down exponentially whenever I see something like this. Aren't people embarrassed to put things like this on their site?

Get out of the way and let me read your content. If it's useful, I'll bookmark or share it myself, thanks. Believe it or not, I do know how…

Go ahead and make this module if you wish. I'm just afraid that if you do, somebody might actually use it.

I never had any intention to do it.

I would never use it also.

I just let here the suggestion because i think many people would like to use.

It does not matter if you are afraid that people will use it, it matters that it will be a drupalish solution that people would like, thats all.

These silly things are what newbies like, and these kind of things (wordpressish, supa newbie things) are things missing in Drupal IMHO.

I think it's really slick and could have it's uses. I would be willing to sponsor development of this for Drupal, I am assuming the WordPress plugin is GPL?

Since it is posted on wordpress plugin repository, then i believe it is GPL.

But even if it was not, developing this from scratch with jQuery / Drupal would be simple.

@Fidelix thanks for the info.

I have a high profile client that is also interested in having this widget on their website.

Please contact me if you have any more information about its progress!
