Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

		.DESCRIPTION
			Invokes the provided script block in a new elevated (Administrator) powershell process, 
			while retaining access to the pipeline (pipe in and out). Please note, "Write-Host" output
			will be LOST - only the object pipeline and errors are handled. In general, prefer 
			"Write-Output" over "Write-Host" unless UI output is the only possible use of the information.
