Until we can get Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, and Pinterest to sign a peace treaty and standardize on a common size for share buttons, their mismatched and unaligned buttons will continue to be a thorn in every designer’s side.

Check out Sharrre if you want a jQuery plugin that covers all the share buttons and much more.
