Counting all kinds of links and official widgets, here is Pingdom’s final count:

  1. Facebook: 49.3%
  2. Twitter: 41.7%
  3. Google+: 21.5%
  4. LinkedIn: 3.9%

I would have suspected these numbers would be higher. My local DNS server hijacks all facebook requests so I see every time facebook.com tries to phone home from my browser.
