<li>
<p>Search engines (Your site’s search / Google adsense search / Yahoo search etc …) can also be added to the popup.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Apart from sharing texts only, this plugin also acts like a social bookmarking button.</p>

Social Sharing Block

I have been trying to work on a custom solution, but this is perfect. It took me a few seconds to install and set it up the way I wanted. 

I'll include the social block in my free FSE theme and recommend it to users.
