Depending on how testing/playing with the extension goes I'd like to move this to a vote to support a bugzilla entry for the extension to be added.

I found some previous discussion on links to social networking sites...

There's the 'falls down' issue in there for Digg - that is, the "dig this article" button you generally see on sites lists the number of digs an article has. To get that you must pull data from Digg's servers and give away who is reading what page. A strict interpretation of the privacy policy would disallow that.
So, this means that for any extension we use all that can appear on a Wikinews article are passive links. Logos must be local, and the only time any information should go to the social bookmark site is when a user clicks on a link to make a bookmark.

If we stick to the top four or five social sites I don't think we can be accused of bias.
How's about I install this ShareThis extension on Wikinewsie and we have a play with that? I can whitelist a couple of pages to test it on so anyone can see them.
