Nothing looks worse than visiting a website to see single/double digit "likes" on a social network. That said, many clients are keen to exploit the power of social marketing so, where possible, as designers we need to comply in the most tasteful way possible. Agreed it is only a trend – in several years time, I'd be amazed if all three of these still exist – but the Web is built on trends. It's just a matter of time before the next über-cool concept comes along that requires some unwanted attention from the world's web designers. It’s a fair point Paul.

These cheapen the web (and your website) in my view. I long for the day these horrible turds fall out of fashion. Rant over.

Placement works well on The Web Design Blog too. Just a shame that Twitter count is a few pixels too tall. It’s nice to see others using them. Placement works well on The Web Design Blog too.
