Share This Icon
And I for one welcome our new social bookmarking service overlords.
There’s a nice WordPress Plugin out there being developed by Alex King (original WordPress contributor) called Share This.
The Plugin is itself part of a larger goal which is detailed on the Share Icon Project page. Long story short, the Share Icon Project aims to replace (at least) 30-some social bookmarking icons with one unifying icon, and in turn do its part to alleviate “icon overload”, as it has been termed. As Mr. King himself puts it, the goal is
An icon to represent the generic action of sharing a web page. This could mean adding the page to a social bookmarking site or memetracker, e-mailing the page to someone, etc.
The current icon follows the design theme of the popular RSS and OPML icons.
You can see version 1.3 of Share This in action on this site. Click on the Share This link at the bottom of any post to do just that. Check out Share Icon Project to find out how you can contribute.
