This is great, I know you published this a long time ago, but I really think this work should be a web standard.

I would like to vote that the previous concept was much better. The star gives it all odd vibes feel. The three dots connected had a intuitive feel to it.

It has to be #1 surely. The star has too many other symbolicisms (is that a word?)

I vote for #1 – the plugin looks great and helps to get rid of the many social links which frees up screen space for real content.

I think the green connection icon thingie is best. It’s the connections made that is the idea you are trying to get across.

Suggestion: With the email tab, can you create the option so people can send a friend a link to the site and not just the post or page?

Great plugin, btw – I will be using it as soon as I sort out some CSS issues I have with it and the Cutline Theme.

I think stars have been used in many other places for ratings, preferences, or even to indicate favourites of some sort. It may be confusing to use them for something else.

I like option #1 as it is more obviously about the connection one-to-two even if the connection can be one-to-many

The one-to-many connection can be implied by adding extra node from a child node, a la USB icon)

I’ve all ways used the pill icon to represent sharing. Maybe I’ll do some concepts up in this sort of vein.

1# the three connected points is a nice and intuitive

I like the star, but I wonder if rounded points would look more consistent with the other two…

I like #1 better… The star is cool, but it doesnt really explain anything…

I like #1 also, but wouldn’t a hand make a nice sharing icon? Just a thought…

#1 looks great
