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.
For now our best bet is to simply roll your own button with a share count for each service. Today I did a bit of digging and put together a quick Gist to get share counts using the platform’s APIs.

Teehan+Lax just updated their iPhone mockup PSD to include all the new subtle design changes and details introduced in this week’s iOS 5. Overall not a lot has changed, but you can certainly tell that Apple spent a lot of time polishing and perfecting the details.

Wordnik proves that even the most crowded ideas still have massive room for improvement. When you look up a word on Wordnik they will return definitions from multiple sources, example usage from literature and news, etymology, related words (synonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, same context, reverse dictionary, tags), tweets using the word, visuals and sound pronunciations.
For the devs out there they have a massive API and code library and active Github repositories

Quickly copy the script path to the Google hosted code for the most popular Javascript libraries.
