   Liking it! I've only used the twitter share button so far and it seems that it uses the long url for the article I'm sharing rather than the shortened one which is a bit rubbish. Does anyone know how to get that shortened url?

      Thanks for the feedback! This is just the first iteration of the static buttons. I will see if we can change the sharing URL(s) to use the short version.

            When you shared the Hub on Twitter, did they (Twitter) not automatically shorten the URL?

               No, Marina, all of mine included the long URL. Too bulky, I like the short one, more space to add lead-ins to the tweet.

                  Twitter doesn't (or shouldn't, at least) count the characters in the URL towards the 140 char max. I think if the text of your Tweet is short enough, more of the URL will be visible and vice versa. Let me know if you're having problems, though.

         I have tried to share with followers a couple of times today, and I don't think that button works.  Is it just me??  I love the Google+ button; sure saves time when sharing there.

    I love these buttons, BUT did all our stats disappear with the old ones?  It seems like I lost all that data and I was proud of the numbers of likes on some of my articles after having accumulated them over the years:(

       You can use Like Explorer to get the number of social shares for any URL. It's pretty nifty!

    These new buttons are looking great, it's nice to see that HubPages have made them in the style HP itself rather than the generic buttons that come from the social networking sites.
    
    I'm loving the button for us Hubbers to share the Hubs we like with our followers as well. I might be wrong but I don't remember seeing that before.
