We previously published the first bloggerized version of Mashable Sharing Plugin for wordpress and it was well received by all of you. At that time Google Plus badges were still under development and were not released and web masters often preferred third party plugins like "Add to Circle". Since now when Google plus is the hot social media networking site growing in numbers and traffic and with extra ordinary added Google Search features, I thought the mashable widget should be upgraded. I simply added a Google+ bade to the sharing widget and replaced the LinkedIn icon with twitter because most of you asked for it. Linkedin is a great place for business professionals to attract targeted clients but if you have just started blogging and don't have much experience in freelancing then you may avoid it at an early stage. The installation is extremely easy and you simply need to copy and paste the code. That simple! Live Demo
A demo for the previous version is already available and this version does looks like the one shown in the intro image. I did not added this new version to MBT lab in order to avoid putting further load there.
