Whats the way to implement social share buttons on a HTML only website like Facebook, twitter and linkedin etc are there any good plugins out there that are customizable ?
or is wise to implement each social share button individually ?
at the moment I'm using addthis plugin and is not working very well and not finding much support for it on their forums.
I sometimes use the following site to generate my share codes:

If you just want a specific page to share or want dev tools for Facebook check this out:

The page that i need to code should include a construction like that :
"The user should be able to login Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Linkedin (the list may go on). After that he should be able to view the news feed of his Facebook acc., tweets of his Twitter acc. and the others like that. I aim to code with Java Web Technologies (JSF, Spring etc.)."
I can struggle with it, but if anyone knows how to do it by the easiest or most practical way. I would appreciate.
Thanks.
I am developing iPhone app where I need to provide integration with different social media like FaceBook, Twitter, Google etc. I have seen couple of iPhone applications that allow people to login using their existing FB or Twitter accounts and allow to post comments, like/unlike, follow people etc. I want to implement something similar but not sure where to start with. Could anyone please suggest me right direction? Any documentation and sample code would be great help.
Thanks.
http://developers.facebook.com/ has just about all the info you might need.
Further also look in Apples library as it contains sample code and extensive information about most topics.
#AppleDeveloper, check out Socialize; this is exactly the problem we're working to solve: http://www.GetSocialize.com. Full feature list at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features
The problem with just putting Facebook into your app is that your download base of users aren't all friends on Facebook. So any sharing in the app using Facebook will only go out to that user's friends.
Socialize lets all users of the app see the social actions other users of the app take, in addition to allowing those social actions to be shared on Facebook (and soon Twitter & Google+ as well). Then we give you a reporting dashboard so you can see the effect of all the social actions on downloads & user engagement: http://go.GetSocialize.com/dashboard
Let me know if this is the type of thing you're looking for.

The Like Button seems like a very specific, and not very elegant in my opinion, solution to allowing users to post a web page to their Facebook profile. You have two options: 1) Use the iFrame solution, which allows very little flexibility in functionality, integration or appearance or 2) the XFBML solution which requires loading the entire Facebook javascript SDK just for one little "share this" button.
Is the Like Button the only way that is currently supported by Facebook to allow sharing of content to a user's Facebook profile? It seems to be the only method mentioned anywhere in the Facebook developer documentation, and I've had trouble finding any alternatives elsewhere on the internet.
There was a service called Facebook Share:

I guess it's still working but I'm seeing people having troubles using it and Facebook is forcing developers to use the Like Plugin.
Now:
Most likely your visitors will have the Facebook JS Library cached on their browsers
Facebook uses CDNs and their servers are super fast
Even if it doesn't fit in your design, don't forget that users are used to it
You can create a Facebook Application and use the Graph API but it's way more complicated
Don't use their services!
Actually, Facebook share is the simplest and most natural solution to share content on your FB profile.

like web project where we can share to socialnetworks by cliking on fb share/like button ,tweet button. i want to do the same thing in my ipad app.please any one help me?
You can either use each social networks API individually, or you can use ShareKit.
ShareKit is a lot simpler, and easier to use, but there are very few limitations, but mostly it does everything you need it to. And the limitations are outweighed by the easy of use. (you'll still need to register as a developer on the social networks you want to support, there is a tutorial on the website, and explanation in the code)
Just read the documentation of the twitter and Facebook API, then use the REST interface to interact with the service.
For that you have to make the application which integrates facebook and twitter
USe the following link for doing so
1. For Twitter
2. For Facebook

I have a Facebook application where I am using it in Windows phone 7 application.
I am done with share on Facebook option through my mobile application. I want to add an extra link at the bottom of my application wall post (beside the like and comment links present)
How can I achieve this? Which setting need to be set in the application settings?
The docs for integrating share functionality are at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share.
However:
We don't recommend the Share button
for new developers. If you aren't
already using the Share button, we
recommend you migrate to the Like
button and Open Graph protocol instead
of Share for sharing pages from your
website. The Like button is simpler to
user and is the recommended solution
moving forward.
Because this is implemented in HTML & JS with Facebook's own scripts you'de need to look at usingt a WebBrowserr control to embed this funcitonality on your page.
