Social plugin recommendations?

    I run writtalin.com and I'm looking for some awesome recommendations for social sharing plugins. I was using Cunjo, but I had some problems with Open Graph data while running this, so I switched to a more simplified plugin (visible now), but I don't like it quite as much. Ideally, I'd want something like the one seen here: http://designwebkit.com/project-news/50-best-posts-handpicked-by-50-design-bloggers/

    Does anyone have a social plugin recommendation, preferably for free, that would give me that functionality and not interfere with OG data?

    I have several WP sites, some I've done and some were set up by a "pro."

    The pro used this social media plug in -- Hupso Share Buttons for Twitter, Facebook and Google

    It's free and seems easy to use.

    I have used Shareaholic too, on a couple of websites. Quite easy to setup, looks nice, effortless user experience so far :)

    Alternatively you can check the ShareThis or Social Media Feather plugins, they should also do the trick for you. With such
    plugins its mostly a matter of preference :)

    Social plugins may low your page optimization speed. I recommend to add code manually, instead of using plugin.

    You should need ADD THIS plugin. If that doesn't work, JETPACK by wordpress is also a decent plugin
