This module flowed right into the menu area and looked better than I thought it would on the first try. The back end selection list is good, but not exhaustive. It would be nice to have a "custom input" box for links not included, but that is a minor issue.
The author also gives a "support the author" link choice, which I respect.
Thank you for a job well done.

Simple and to the point!
As described by the author this modules provides integration of some popular social bookmarking services. You can extend the list of services or change their order with the php and xml files. I did this and i had to fix a minor problem with the floating - and was ready to go in 10 minutes. The result is a very fast loading and perfect integrated list of social bookmark icons. In my opinion the best solution so far...
Thank you for sharing this module. If you plan to extend it: the Module Class Suffix would be helpful.

Backend could get at least an english translation and some icons should default to off (e.g. StudiVZ MeinVZ SchülerVZ).
Will most likely require a bit css work to fit nicely into website.
Nicely lightweight.

Hi Muzura, thank you for your review! It's true, I forgot to translate the Yes/No-labels! I'll fix that in the next version!
Concerning the provided services I think it's up to everyone self to decide an select the relevant services. I don't see any need to disable them by default as people might want to see a complete version of this module when installing.
Greets!
PS.: For all non-german users: Ja = Yes, Nein = No
