This plugin, like many others, adds content-sharing functions after your posts (and optionally pages and media attachments). But the similarities end there.
QuickShare is quick because it doesn’t run 3rd-party sharing JavaScript; in fact, there is no front-end JS. The sharing functions are built into links that take the user (in new tabs) to the native sharing interface on each social media site.
You can choose which social media sites to include from: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkedin, Google+, Tumblr, Reddit, and StumbleUpon. A basic email function is also available.
The share bar appearance is highly customizable and share functions can be displayed as either icons, Genericons or text. Each display method features different customization options; customize through the settings page or with custom CSS.
QuickShare can be displayed at the end of ever post, page, and/or attachment, or all post types automatically. Or, you can use the <code>[quickshare]</code> shortcode to display QuickShare wherever you’d like in any of your posts/pages. You can also exclude posts by id, or even use a custom output function in your templates, including the ability to override the default generated sharing data.
As a bonus, QuickShare includes several built-in CSS3 effects for hover state animations.
Please visit the plugin support forum for help with custom css snippets and/or feature requests!
Please note that QuickShare does not and will not support link tracking, because of its goal of being simple and lightweight. You can use a 3rd-party tool like Google Analytics to track shares as external links.

This plugin adds a set of social buttons to your website, and includes craft-related social sites like Ravelry, Etsy, Craftsy and Pinterest as well as other major social networks, including WhatsApp. Support for sharing to WhatsApp is also provided on mobile devices. You can choose from nine different button styles to match your theme. You can have the share buttons automatically added to the top or bottom of each post, and can position the link buttons using either a widget, a shortcode or a template action hook.
You can use the share button and link button functions either separately, or together:
Share Button mode allows you to put a set of buttons at the top or bottom of each post. Each button will share that post with that particular service. I.e., clicking the facebook icon will open a window for the user to share your post on their Facebook page. Not all services support sharing, for instance, you can’t share via Etsy or Craftsy.
Link Button mode lets you configure the buttons to link directly you your profiles on the social networks. I.e. clicking the facebook icon will take the user to your facebook page, clicking the Etsy icon will take them to your Etsy shop. These are designed to be included in either your header, sidebars or footer, as they are not specific to a post. These can be easily included by adding the Social Link Button widget to the area where you want the buttons to appear.
Supported social services include:
<ul>
<li>Craftinoo (link only)</li>
<li>Craftsy (link only)</li>
<li>Dawanda (link only)</li>
<li>Digg</li>
<li>Ebay (link only)</li>
<li>Email (share only)</li>
<li>Etsy (link only)</li>
<li>Facebook</li>
<li>Flickr (link only)</li>
<li>Google+</li>
<li>Instagram (link only)</li>
<li>LinkedIn</li>
<li>Pinterest</li>
<li>Ravelry</li>
<li>Reddit</li>
<li>Specific Feeds (link only)</li>
<li>Stumble Upon</li>
<li>Tumblr</li>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
<li>VK</li>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>WhatApp (share only, only on mobile)</li>
<li>Xing</li>
</ul>
You can also choose exactly which services you want separately for each mode, so you can can have Share Buttons for Ravelry, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Email, but have Link Buttons for Google+, Craftsy, Pinterest and your Etsy shop.
