The plugin has exceeded the 8,000 downloads. Now that the code is stable enough, I will concentrate on the supported sites. Some of them do not exist anymore (BlinkBits, BUMPzee, De.lirio.us to list a few of them) and some others have changed their name and logo (like Netscape). I have compiled a list of the sites that are supported out-of-the-box with the plugin.

I intend to drop a lot of sites and include others in their place. My intention is to bring quality to the list and not chase quantity. Now is a good time for you to suggest your sites (even if they appear on the list as I maybe about to remove them) on the comment box below.

A new version of the Social Bookmarks plugin is now available. This update includes a the site Tip’d and some minor code optimizations on the administration section of the plugin.

You can download the plugin from the WordPress repository or click the update button on your WordPress Dashboard.

I just noticed an issue with the way that WordPress handles the plugins activation. A couple of WordPress users have reported that when they activate Social Bookmarks, the plugin activates and operates as advertised but the AJAX features of the WordPress Dashboard break. I have tried for a while now to replicate the issue and I was unable to.

Last night I noticed that my NextGen Gallery AJAX stopped working. When a plugin breaks usually the problem lies with a plugin update that follows the programming pattern that is known as sloppy coding.

I started disabling all the plugins one by one until the AJAX functionality was working. However, I ended up disabling all the plugins as I could not spot an offending plugin.

I re-activated the NextGen Gallery and the AJAX features of the gallery were working fine. I activated all my other plugins and this time the Dashboard AJAX did not break. My conclusion is that WordPress 2.7 is a bit picky about the order with which the plugins are activated.
