The "Social Bookmarking" internet craze has made a shift to social sharing. Instead of wanting to store up links on social bookmarking sites like Digg.com or Delicious.com, people are becoming more interested in sharing directly with others in real time through sites like Twitter and Facebook. This plugin makes the social share buttons on your site look just as good as the big professional tech news sites.
Sharable's Features:
• Always uses a single permalink URL for each article!
• Several interactive social sharing buttons available
• • Google +1
• • StumbleUpon
• • Digg
• Large and small badge options available for each share button
• Facebook button can use the light or dark color scheme
• Button order can be easily changed to your liking
• CSS styling is pre-configured, but you can edit the included CSS file or set the inline styles from the plugin settings
• Choose to place buttons at the top or bottom of content (or not at all) for article previews
• Choose to place buttons at the top or bottom of content (or not at all) for full articles
• Choose which buttons to display and which variation of each button, separately for article previews and full article views
• Exclude specific categories where you don't want to display these buttons (specify 0 to hide the buttons on uncategorized articles)

Fantastic! It even REPAIRED my facebook API settings automatically! Now that's quality. (And it's free).
Fairly simple to implement.
The facebook "foldout" can cause some issues with your template if you have overflow hidden in your CSS but the developer is willing to help you with that as well.
Hint: please try to use chrome inspect element to find your overflow hidden css elements first in an attempt to fix this yourself

Was looking for ways to add facebook and twitter buttons to my articles quickly. After trying various methods I found this and was able to get it all working very quickly.
It even has HTML and CSS fields to easily adjust how it's displayed. Definitely one to look at if you are looking for a quick way to share articles socially.

Used the addthis pluging beforehand, and while I liked the analytics it provided, there were just too many issues with incorrect URLs with it recently and the developers were slow to release updates for joomla. This one was easy to install, the URLs are correct, and particularly the big buttons look great. The author is very responsive and helped me out with some custom css to make the buttons float vertically next to my content.
I am very pleased with this plugin which does exactly what we want, and when I had a problem with the Google +1 button and IE6 (which, sadly, some of our clients still use!), I had a very quick response from the developer and the problem was solved within days.
I would completely recommend this plugin to anyone who wants an elegant set of social networking buttons on their site.

This is really nice. very impressed with this developer.
Was quickly installed and came out looking very good on my site, no issues with alignment or anything like that.
Also I really like that is had the Google +1 button which was what I was specifically seeking.
I give perfect 5 stars!
Thank you very much!

Lets face it were all looking for a slick display of those social media site links to put on our web pages in a smart way. This pluging nails it.
I had one small issue and the developer answer it quick smart in the forums.
Only draw back is that it only has the biggest sites and you cant add more. This is probably to ensure it looks good (it does!).
This is the one you've been looking for. Go get it, and make yourself a cuppa with the time saved.

Thanks Tekno_boy. I'll add some more sites soon to give everyone some more options. But you're right, the main focus was to provide a clean layout similar to the big sites like Mashable. There are just too many plugins that crowd your pages with unnecessary social bookmarking buttons, and let's face it, our users are more interested in the site content than the sharing buttons, so let's keep our content looking good! :)
