With initial support for all AddThis parameters, the Abivia SocBook plugin lets you filter by section, category and article ID. You can include or exclude a list of each.
Control whether or not the bookmarking widgets appear on the front page or in section and category views.
Place the widget using any of the content events or at the beginning or end of article bodies.
On pages that display multiple articles, Abivia SocBook creates bookmarks for the URL of each individual article.
If the user doesn't have permission to see the full body of an article, then the widget is automatically hidden.
AND... unlike some others, this extension is Google safe. There are NO hidden back-links in the generated code.

I wish I could give this a 4.5 as it deserves it.
This plugin performs as expected and is nicely laid out as well. I went to the AddThis site, hand-picked my sites from their complete list and added them to the custom AddThis list field that this plugin provides.
I have 1 minor issue with this plugin. The button is placed so unobtrusively that I worry that my users won't see it. I wouldn't mind some more placement options in the backend.
On a side note, there is an error in the documentation. The afterTitle display requires that "Show Intro" is set to Hide, not Show as stated in the documentation.
Overall, the best social bookmarking plugin for Joomla that I have tried and I tried every single one with a 3.5 or better rating. Thanks!

This plugin does exactly what it says in a manner that is very easy to configure. I was able to install, configure and get rolling in minutes. Has a lot more flexibility to customize than I expected. Nice surprise.
Quality and care in the development of this plugin that is not always the case for free extensions.
Big thanks to the developers!

This plug-in really rocks, the other social bookmarking plug-ins were having problems with my SEF url addresses but this plug-in didn't bat an eye. I am really happy with the back-end customization options also. Kudos and thanks to the developers!

I spent several hours testing all of the social bookmarking plugins listed in the JED as of 08-31-09. This is by far the best and deserves to be at the top. Thanks, Abivia, for offering this excellent tool!

I have tried EVERY bookmarking tool on the JED. This one is perfect!

I tried a dozen different bookmarking extensions before I found one that (a) was a plugin, not a module; and (b) could be applied only to specific sections/categories.
This one aced it! Great work.

I tried a few others and had crazy browser compatibility issues. This thing just works. Great job.

Believe me, I have tried them ALL. This one is by far the best plugin for addthis(and more) going!
I had an issue with the official addthis plugin appearing on component content pages, with no options to exclude anything...
-The MOST configurable
-No backlinks
-IT WORKS

Installs quickly and easily, with easy configuration. Had it up and running in less than 2 minutes.
Seems more flexible than others I looked at/tried, as you can control it on sections/categories to, aswell as front page.
My only issue is that I have pages displayed from components, for CMS Realty component, and cannot see how I can add bookmarks to those pages. Will try and contact their support.

I worked with this fellow for a while to see if there was a fix. Unfortunately CMS Realty is a bridge, so the component just sees the entire output. Adding bookmarking to his listings needs to be done in Open Realty.
