SocialCount – Lighter & Faster Social Networking Widgets

SocialCount is a small jQuery plugin for progressively enhanced, lazy loaded, mobile friendly social networking widgets. This plugin currently supports Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.

• Lightweight, just 2.93KB
• Works with mouse, touchscreen, or keyboard.
  • Mouse: On hover, loads a social network's native widget so that the user can Like/Recommend/+1 without leaving the current page.
  • Touch screen: simple redirects to dedicated network share pages.
  • Keyboard: Concise tab order.
• Option to conditionally display count if it's above a minimum threshold. Avoid goose egg ghost-town.
• Intelligent client-side caching so that two or more widgets with the same share URL only make one AJAX request.
