Socializer won't "urge" your visitors to share your pages, relying on their spontaneous decision. If you want to 'require' the sharing of your site, you can combine Socializer! with the [Social Share Motivator](http://www.thefreewindows.com/15816/reveal-posts-visitors-share-social-networks/). Socializer! keeps your pages light and fast, because it loads a single image, it does not run lengthy scripts, etc. Socializer! is absolutely self-dependent and safe: it won't change anything at all in your database and it won't even connect to your database for any reason whatever. When a user clicks on the Socializer! button, a clean and pleasant control panel in a new window offers sharing and translation options. Socializer! keeps sharing clear and easy, supporting the established and prestigious popular social sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, offering thus a simple and most convenient submission panel. Visitors of your web site or blog will be able to share your pages in Facebook, Twitter, Google Bookmarks and Google Plus, Reddit, by eMail recommendation, taking advantage of Google Translate, copying raw HTML Code (href) for Links and Share Links, getting Short URL versions with TinyURL, even in BlinkList, BlogMarks, Del.Icio.Us, Digg, Evernote, FormSpring, FriendFeed, Linkedin, LiveJournal, Chime, MySpace, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Connotea, DotNetKicks, DZone, Fark, Faves, LinkArena, LinkaGoGo, MisterWong, N4G, NewsVine, Netvouz, NuJIJ, Scoopeo, Tipd, Tumblr, Xerpi. Socializer! lets you choose what to share - posts or pages, or both posts and pages, place the share button at the top of your content or at the bottom, or in both locations. The Socializer! sharing button can appear in individual posts and pages, and also on Archives (Categories, Tags, Dates, Home/Index pages). Alternatively or along with this button, you can use the Socializer! Widget, letting you share from your sidebar(s) each and every page of your blog. Note that the default Socializer! buttons can be replaced with any button whatever you may like. Use the Settings page to change the default sharing buttons. You can paste there the address (url) of any button you'd like to use. Socializer! will also let you use css styles to customize the position, alignment etc, of both the content and the widget buttons - the default ones or even custom buttons of your own. Socializer! will also let you [create manually occasional / sporadic share-links](http://www.thefreewindows.com/11487/incorporating-socializer-web-scripts-software-creating-manual-sharelinks/) independently of the regular buttons, in case you need to use in your article share links to other pages of your site or of other sites. Socializer! is also perfect for WordPress multisite MS / MU installations. * Note that, if you have a non-WordPress site, php or asp, simple html etc, there is a [Javascript Edition of Socializer!](http://www.thefreewindows.com/5641/socializer-javascript/), letting you offer to your visitors the chance to share and / or translate your pages easily. ** [Socializer! for Firefox](http://www.thefreewindows.com/5915/socializer-firefox/), for [Chrome](http://www.thefreewindows.com/11319/socializer-chrome/), for [Internet Explorer](http://www.thefreewindows.com/11432/socializer-internet-explorer/), or for [any major browser](http://www.thefreewindows.com/5897/socializer-bookmarklet/) will let you share or translate any page you visit yourself. *** [Socializer!
