I recently discovered addtoany.com and their all-in-one social bookmarking tool. This is a great way to let your users share your site, without cluttering up every page with all kinds of different buttons. Also, since the addtoany button is automatically updated with the latest social sites that spring up constantly, it’s a zero maintenance solution. It even integrates with google analytics if you track at that level.
When I went to implement this on a Joomla! 1.5 system, I found out there was no existing plugin for it. So I wrote my own. It was my first attempt at a plugin, so be gentle…. Anyway, you can download the plugin here: Joomla! 1.5 AddToAny social bookmarking plugin.

very nice! the only suggestion I’d make is to allow the ability to hide the plugin from certain categories or sections. I’d like to use it on my blog section, but not on my content on the frontpage.

Nice, Rithinfront! I _think_ that’s the first Share/Save button I’ve seen running on Joomla.
If anybody has suggestions that pertain to the actual menu itself (something that doesn’t appear to be configurable by this plugin), feel free:
