I am looking for the code to implement share buttons for twitter, buzz and facebook with a counter like youtube have in their share option, please see the screen shot.

enter image description here

I’ve been looking over some codes but none of them does exactly what I want, either it is a bit square or it is a “like count” to facebook.

I hope one of you could help me with this.

For Facebook, look here: Facebook for Developers

For Twitter API, look here: Twitter for developers

And, for Google Buzz: Buzz counter

  • Hi Ardman, thanks for the links - they are really useful but I have one question thou. The facebook link, the only buttons I can find is the "like" button with a counter and not a "share" button, which is what I'm really looking for. Do you know anything about that? Otherwise thanks for your help. – Emil Devantie Brockdorff Feb 17 '11 at 21:42
  • @Mestika: The `Like` button is a better option compared to the `Share` button. For example, if the person `Like`'s your site, it is prepopulated with your `Open Graph` meta tags and your site then has a `Connection`. This will then appear on the top 5% of your new `Connection`'s friends `News Feeds`. People who visit a site and see their friends faces are more inclined to engage with the content. Hope this helps. – Neil Knight Feb 18 '11 at 06:41
