For those of us in the design community, we all know about the new digg-like design site Vot.eti.me which is a product of the ever popular Styl.eti.me If you haven’t seen vot.eti.me yet, go check it out. Now, the reason I am writing this post on the blog is to let you know that I’ve updated the sociable plug-in which was originally created by Peter Harkins and maintained by Joost de Valk since early 2008. The plug-in now not only includes vot.eti.me in the options panel, but it also makes it one of the default options. The original had the following as the default options:
For those of us who design for a living or run design blogs, I know that there should be some better default options built into the plug-in to better suit our target visitor. So now the plug-in is defaulted to show the following:
If you think that the plug-in should be defaulted with any others, let me know and I’ll update it here. You can download the plug-in zip file below. Any questions/comments/tips leave me a comment and let me know.

This is so cool, really good that these thing are being aknowledged within the community, keep up the good work.
Thanks Max. and thanks for tweeting about it, and thanks for making the vot.eti.me icon to begin with. Without that, this plug-in would have never been done
WOW thats all I can say WOW!
That’s pretty neat, and having a more relevant set of default links is useful too, I never know which ones to have active.
well i didnt make the icon, i think styletime is secretly getting better at design hehe, so i cant take cred for that, but this plugin is truly awesome, love the drag drop.
Fantastic Work!
Cant wait to give this a shot =)
Wow, this is incredible! I’m downloading it now.
I have the original sociable, which I hacked and really isn’t cutting the mustard. This is priceless considering it comes with design float and various other design related necessities! Thank you!
Thanks for all of the kind words everyone. Glad you all like it.
@Max – the drag/drop is part of the original plug-in. I only added vot.eti.me and changed the default ones in the code. Everything else is from the original plug-in so I can’t take credit for that.
@Renee – glad you liked it so much
Thanks for sharing this with us. It’s nice to finally have a place for website designers to share their work as well. Great stuff!
