I'd love to have a snippet that you could add to a template that would display icons and properly-formatted links to allow a viewer to one-click post the page to digg, reddit, facebook, etc. Just like the WordPress sociable plugin. (http://yoast.com/wordpress/sociable/)

I think this would be extremely simple.

Generated links examples would be like this (depending on the individual site's submission link format):

• http://delicious.com...m/thispage.html
  
• http://digg.com/subm...m/thispage.html
  
• http://www.stumbleup...m/thispage.html

If any programmer wants to team up to build this, I'll do the images, output markup, and the CSS

need to pass url and title as parameters, though for most uses these could easily be derived using makeurl and the title field directly.

Awesome... let me see what I can do with it...

I am 99% there...
Example: http://n-vent.com/audio-player.html

Just need to know how to produce the site name (for LinkedIN)... Mike, do you know that one? I could not find it in documentation...

Turns out it's $etomite->config['site_name']

(thanks Ralph)

All done- I'll post this snippet once I have triple-checked everything.
