    Login with AJAX is very smooth and professional looking. With a little effort you can CSS the plug-in to match the look of your site. I use it on http://www.askmeabout.us

    One best alternative to Drag To Share is WP-Drag2Share, it has a beautiful icons and shadow image on over, like mashable – http://bit.ly/23aQ4b
