Referral tools for Digg, Del.icio.us, etc???

[da1prophet]

Are there any good online resources, scripts, etc to generate spiffy links for readers to recommend articles to Digg, Del.icio.us and the other relevant sites? Something like what Steve has on the bottom of the forum posts (those little icons?). I know that the individual services have their own tools, but I want something that'll give it a more integrated look...

Those little icons you see on everybody sites that are all the same size and look similar that let you submit to all the different social sites (i think) are up for grabs in terms of copying. I seem to see the same icons on almost every blog, forum or news site I visit, so I think your ok to copy them to your own site. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The submit link for those sites are just a generic URL that you tag extra info on the end too. For example....diggs...

http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://www.UniqueURL.com&title=StoryTitle&bodytext=StoryDescription&topic=YourSelectedTopic

more info at Digg / tools / integrate.

Check out the source of Steves site to see how the different links work.

EDIT after reading your post again. As for generating the links.....easy to do in something like PHP but I'm not sure in javascript or others. Sorry if was off topic above.

The Ninja Scroll Wordpress theme has built-in support for Digg, Del.icio.us and Reddit links. You can apply this theme to your own site as-is, or you can inspect the PHP source code to learn how it was done.

Or, you can check out the Sociable plugin.

Another good option is OnlyWire: The Only BookMarklet You'll Ever Need!
It will submit links to 16 bookmarking sites at once.

After I posted this I had the bright idea of doing a Google search! I ended up using a service provide by addthis.com. Easy to configure and no complaints with its functionality as of yet...
