It's common for WordPress themes to come integrated with social media voting buttons. However, many themes do not, whilst others simply have simple text links to sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Thankfully there are lots of great plugins which automatically add social media sharing buttons into your site.
Back in March I showed you 11 of the best social media plugins for WordPress. One which would easily fit into that list is Sharedaddy, a new sharing plugin which was released a few days ago.
The plugin lets users share your posts via Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, StumbleUpon, PressThis, Digg and email. You can also add a print link. It's possible to add other sharing sites and services too via the settings area.

Riyaz Sayyad last week released a great social media plugin for WordPress entitled Get Social. Instead of being positioned at the end of a post like other social media plugins, the Get Social box floats at the left hand side of your page.

The default social media sites are Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz and StumbleUpon. Each site can be activated and deactivated from the settings page. You can also add your own social media icons to the box in this settings area.

Social media is an important part of promoting any website in todays world. Every major content website on the internet today offers their readers an easy way for them to share their content through social media sites such as Twitter, FaceBook and Digg because they understand the importance of social media.
When designing a new WordPress theme. or modifying an existing free or premium design, it is important to integrate social media links with your content.
