Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I hear you when it comes to the Facebook sharing and tweeting buttons as well. I'm very conflicted as well. Hi Ishmael! Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

I hear you when it comes to the Facebook sharing and tweeting buttons as well. I’m very conflicted as well.

It does seem to add some decent tools but I'm always wary of, as you put it, doo dads. I'm still conflicted about the "share on Facebook" and "tweet this" buttons I have added to a site I administer. One interesting feature is that the Wibiya bar allows you to see some stats on how many people shared your articles using various means. And despite its "random article" function, which doesn't strike me as a particularly useful feature, it is a well thought out nav bar. I'm not a huge fan of the flashiness of it though. If you can edit the CSS to make it a tiny, unobstructive bar at the bottom of your site without distracting readers, it might be worth it. I have similar feelings about this Wibiya bar.
