GetSocial is now a web service!
It works with PC, Mac & Linux and no download is required:
getsociallive.com
I’ve just launched a new (and very special) version of GetSocial:
GetSocial Live is a web service that generates script-less social bookmarking toolbars for your WordPress.com blog. It’s fast, extremely easy to use and absolutely free!
Here’s an example of what you’ll get:
GetSocial for Mac
GetSocial Live is similar to good ol’ GetSocial, but it offers only the basic functionality of the Windows application. On the other hand, it’s got some huge benefits too:
1. GetSocial Live supports every OS and every web browser (Mac users, this time I totally came through for you!).
2. No download is required.
3. GetSocial Live will be centrally updated (so you will always use the latest version).
How can you help?
GetSocial is free, but manufacturing and maintaining it sure isn’t!
You can help by donating (even in Euros and Pounds) – Contributors of 25 USD or more will receive a 50 USD worth* promotional Google AdWords coupon code for free!
I’ve also embedded some Google AdSense into GetSocial Live, and while Google policies forbid me from directly encouraging clicks – I’ll merely say: CLICK ON THOSE ADS!!!!!!
If you like (or even if you just use) GetSocial – tell your friends about it! Post about GetSocial/GetSocial Live, add getsociallive.com to your blogroll, share getsociallive.com via social networks and generally let people know that there is a new social bookmarking service in town!
Known issues:
‘Copy to clipboard’ will only work with IE. FF and chrome users need to right-click and copy the code manually…
Check out GetSocial Live!
This is phenomenal! Wish we had discovered it sooner… Great work, love that it is free and easy to implement. Many thanks!
LOVE this! Really appreciate all the work that must go into this.
One question. Is there any way to integrate it with WP so that it is done automatically as opposed to each post on its own?
Thanks!
Thanks for the important information about social bookmarking. please also add amaze24.com in your social bookmarking site list.
For some reason the twitter button doesn’t seem to work properly. The message posted into twitter doesn’t link anywhere. Any idea what’s happening?
It works fine for me. Please provide a link to your blog so I can see what’s going on okay?
Beautiful idea but how/where exactly is the code posted to a wordpress blog? Pasting the code to an entry results in the code only. No buttons. No links. Just HTML code. A little help as to what goes where should be forthcoming otherwise your util is useless.
You need to paste the HTML code into your post while on HTML edit mode (and not to the visual editor)…
There is also a great tutorial about how to use GetSocial here:

Goodluck!
Nice widget and thanks for sharing here
Thanks I love you! This is absolutely a brilliant piece of work that you have accomplished.
I have one question/suggestion. Is it possible for you to have one more option where we have transparent backgroun? That’ll totally tilt the app in favor of people who love their site layout.
As you can see from my site, on a black background, a white strip with 6 icons doesn’t look appealing, even though the Design Links look killer!
Thanks so much

Hi,
thanks for the great program Getsocial :-) IN this post here http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-can-i-add-a-send-by-email-button-in-my-post?replies=8 it was mentioned you would add the ‘send to email’ features in Getsocial. Do you have an idea when this will be done?
thanks
Sure I do! It’s right here. :)
thanks Hillel,
I have version 1.05 installed, but cannot see it generates a link “email to a friend”, am I doing something wrong :-) ?
Email to a Friend is under 3rd party services.
Thanks for the usefulness of GetSocial, it’s a Great Idea. But why not use the WordPress.com short link option? The twitter link to this post is “GetSocial Live: a cross-… @ http://hillelstoler.com/2009/10/21/getsocial-live-a-cross-platform-social-bookmarking-widget-for-wordpress-com” Not a lot of room for twittering.
You’re absolutely right! :)
Very cool! Im working on it right now! Thanks!
This is great news thanks for upgrading the service to cover more platforms. :)
And thank you for writing about it! :)
Is this widget only available for wordpress hosted blogs or is it compatable with self hosted wp installations as well?
You can use it on self hosted blogs also.
