One of the things many clients ask for on their sites are Social Network Sharing Buttons such as “Digg this!” or “Add to Delicious”. This is usually a simple matter. Sometimes however a client comes along and asks for a sharing button for a site I’m unfamiliar with – which means it’s time to Google Hunt for the solution to make sure we can provide the feature.

Well I’ll have to Google Hunt no longer now that I’ve found Sharingbuttons.org, which lists (at the time of writing this) 30 different Social Network sites each with a description of the site and breakdown of the proper format and parameters to create a sharing button.

For example, here is the entry for Digg.com :

Sharingbuttons Digg.com Entry

This becomes incredibly handy when you’re asked to support lesser known sites like for me Mister Wong, Dzone, Fark, etc.
