The widget you have shared looks quite good as its colorful, the layout is also simple and can easily be placed in any blog or even in websites to.
But when it comes to make a professional looking website or blog, I would not suggest this kind of gadget to place on a website. There are other good options available for social platform integration.
1. Add This: The most popular and great service to integrate social media links and share tools in one’s blog and website. There are many kind of layout are available for placing on a site/blog.
It also provides stats of social media sharing through the share buttons and social links.
2. Share This: This is another great service in this segment with almost same service and features. They too provides various layouts, stats analysis for social integration tool.
Anyways, that’s a recommended gadget for general sites and thanks for sharing it on Kingged.com..
