<p>If you install this plugin on your blog, your visitors get two buttons below your posts and pages:</p>
<ul>
<li>A Facebook “share” button</li>
<li>and a Twitter “tweet” button.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are <em>not</em> the standard Like- and Tweet-Buttons, which also display how many people have clicked on it so far, but basically pure and simple html-links.</p>
<p>DISADVANTAGE:</p>
<ul>
<li>Less interaction.</li>
</ul>
<p>ADVANTAGES:</p>
<ul>
<li>It’s <strong>faster</strong>. Your blog does not have to contact Facebook’s and Twitter’s servers.</li>
<li>Better <strong>privacy</strong>. No information about your visitors is sent to Facebook or Twitter. Nota bene: Facebook’s standard like button allows Facebook to track your visitors even if they do not click on it!</li>
</ul>

I Recommend This – Love/Like Button for WordPress Posts

Really awesome plugin I love to use on my sites! 

Love it!


Lean and mean with a minimalistic (and overidable) button/css. Kudos to the developer! No bloat, no jQuery.



After trying 8 other plugins this is the clear winner!


Great!
