I installed the plugin on my 1.5.9 site, and all seemed well at first, until I noticed the e-mail, pdf and some other options were not appearing, even though I had selected them in the plugin and published it to the last position.
I next noticed that the "Share" buttons did not submit the article, instead they just jumped to the social network's main page (this should be in another window, and it should go to the submission form).
And finally, at the bottom of the Share drop-menu is an external branding link that takes people away from my website, instead of using a new window.
This is a definite no-no, in my book.
When I reviewed the website, there was virtually no documentation for this plugin, and a quick browse of their forums showed me questions unanswered weeks later, and some vague replies from one administrator that were really no help to the people asking the questions.
This plugin has a lot of potential, and I'll be the first to admit I'm a noob, and perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
However, given the poor documentation, the fact that it did not work for me "out of the box", the poor customer support in the forums, and the lack of a branding-free paid version, I'm going to have to pass on this, at least for now.
I'll keep tabs on the development of this plugin, because if they can get the kinks worked out, it will be a nice addition to my sites. I also hope they'll work on their response times in the forums.

I was searching for a social bookmark extension that fits my joomla, tried many extensions but this one Rocks! it looks so good with my template, simple, easy to configure.
I tried 6 other plugins before this one. Each one seemed to be missing some feature that I required. This one was the complete package. Easy to install and easy to configure. Well done.

I signed up just to be able to review this plugin.
This isn't a plugin, it's a ONE OF A KIND. A league of its own. Exactly what I needed and VERY customisable.
Appearance is completely CSS driven (5stars).
Thanks for the plugin!

Other bookmark plugins are okay, some better than others, but this one beats them all. It's unique style sets it apart form similar plugins, but my favorite thing is that it works out of the box. Thanks AlphaPlug!
