## What it is
A jQuery plugin that renders beautiful social share/like buttons with counters for networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, and Vkontakte. It offers multiple layouts (horizontal, vertical, single-button) and skins, configured via HTML data attributes or JavaScript options.

## Use cases
- add social share buttons with counters to a website
- style share buttons consistently across social networks
- add a single share button that opens a popup with network options
- add share buttons for Russian social networks like Vkontakte
- make icon-only share buttons that don't break page layout

## When to choose
- your site already uses jQuery and you want styled share buttons with counters
- you need support for Russian social networks like Vkontakte
- you want a quick drop-in widget with several skins and layouts

## When to avoid
- you want a modern dependency-free solution - use Social Likes Next instead
- you need counters for networks whose share APIs have been deprecated (Facebook, Google+)
- your project does not use jQuery
