    Here's a bunch of common and not soo common widgets that can be added to blogs and websites to facilitate content sharing ;-)

    AddThis (one of the top contenders):
    http://www.addthis.com/

    Usually works in blogger in a normal template, but does not work in some templates.

    ShareThis (one of the top contenders):
    http://sharethis.com/

    Usually works in blogger in a normal template, but does not work in some templates. This one is a green little button shaped like a V on it's side with little balls on end and vertice - to show like "network".

    AddToAny:

    Haven't tried this one yet on difficult blogger templates. Apparently good integration with google analytics. Both "content share buttons" - across social bookmarking and networking platforms, as others do, but also a Real Simple Syndication (RSS) button, so it can be saved on your preferred reader or RSS aggregator platform (allegedly).

    SocialList.org:

    Massive amount of buttons when you click beyond the usal ones, and customisable too. Never tried it. Just covering it here though. Not as popular as previous ones.

    limited but included for the sake of coverage of platforms.

    love the fact that when you mouse over buttons get big (all lined up) but limited platforms too. Pity.

    wibiya:

    relatively new one - adds a fab bar at bottom of the page. It has hedged its bets by going with the most known socialnetwokring and socialbookmarking platforms - so limited in that respect.

    Wot's fantastically cool:
    >links to your facebook fan page (showing you a preview window) - via facebook connect.
    >shows your twitter stream & postings (showing you a preview window)
    >automatic blog entry alerts to readers
    >search facility
    >prevous & next post
    >random post

    example of wibiya bar at work on a website/blog:

    (see bottom of the page ;-) )

    Need to give this one a go. By the space & description given here, you can tell which is my fav that i will try ;-)
