Default 4.3 Social Bookmarking Add-ons

Anyone know of an addon that helps organize bookmarks?
I found two, one is free and the other $29.99

(free) xcartmods.co.uk
(paid) websitecm.com

Does the free one work for 4.3? or do I have to get the paid one?
What do you use?

Thanks~

Balinor's choice is a good one. It also has analytics so you can see how your customers are using it. You can also turn off send to a friend and just use the option in sharethis. The only draw back that I can see from this is that it draws from another dns. So if your site has this and a SSL cert, then your site from Google is seen as drawing from 3 dns. Not sure if it dings you or not, but would like to have more insight from Google.

Its nice.

One of the problems it gives/generates is "non-secured contents items" in https page/mode since the script does not support or SSL not installed https://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js

Ecommerce websites, such alerts will impact the customers confidence.

Let me know if there are any work around for this.

I don't really understand this but does the 'AddThis' that gizmo suggested have this problem? Just from looking at both of these it seems like AddThis is compatible with more sharing tool/services.

The entire list of services is here:

What we mean is, after the script/add on integrated into our website (assuming at the header part), when you access your site from https://www.sitename.com/home.php, it gives non-secure contents warning.

I just added 'addthis' to the product_detail.tpl...don't know if this is right. Is there anything else I need to do?

*edit*
