have installed for joomla1.6 for my personal blog site. Easy to install and configure, after installing I found facebook share button showed 36 share entries though I have not shared any info on fb.
It is good, but would be better to have it show on all pages of the joomla site - any menu item. For example, I run a sobi2 directory and it won't show on the sobi2 main menu item or any of the listing pages.

Sorry, but this plugin is designed on com_content component, and some services doesn't allow to share categories or tag pages... making it working for single component is a hard work, and need single plugin for a single component...
I agree re the comment about the video commercials playing while trying to configure the plugin. I do not know how this plugin works because as soon as the commercial about the burger joint began playing, I immediately uninstalled.

is only video ads the problem? or doesn't it work?
I am giving 5 stars because developer is working hard on this one. Very good plugin. Highly customizable, but the problem is with Internet explorer v6 v7 v8. I tried on 3 of my sites 1 gave error like the author's demo site. "Done with errors" but the 2 others gave me the same error but the pages didnt load just this plugin show and almost empty screen. So after installing this plugin do not forget to test your page with IE.
This is a really nice plugin, updated every few days by the developer as he adds new features and fixes.
I had been using a small row of social bookmark buttons at the end of articles for over a year, and I am fairly certain that they had never been used, not even one time. I know when I see a line of bookmarks at the bottom of a page, my eyes slide right over them.
The Scrolling Share Button has multiple effects, and is highly configurable for many sites and functions. After installing it using the tweetmeme and facebook share buttons only, the numbers started to take off. Fantastic solution for the site.
Thanks Eddie84!

thank you very much
I really really really wanted this plugin to work. Alas I think it doesn't work with Flexicontent, so had to uninstall.
Well done for developing this though. This was exactly what I was looking for. And unlike the review below I thought the video was a nice touch. Explains how to activate and you guys make a buck by advertising. I have no problem with that. Good luck. I will keep an eye out. If you make this compatible with Flexicontent I will be back and you can count on my donation too! :)

Check now, this plugin is deprecated. You can try Scrolling Share Bar plugin also available for j16.
Seen this on Mashable and on herdyboy's site. Wish Email was integrated as well.
Hint to developer: Can use Shareme's plugin for the email addition.
