The Easy Social Share plugin is a rather stylish alternative for sharing content and images online. It supports only the 8 major social networks and costs $12. It comes with very basic analytics reporting on how many times every post has been shared on every social network, fair enough for small blogs and websites. The plugin is easily adjusted to most wordpress themes, and can be placed on various positions within a post.
