However i use the code here and it do work, i have no idea of it achieves the disired effect simply because i'm swamped with work and haven't had time to re-check things unfortunately. :/ If you got propblem, just check this pages sourcecode. :) @Joe: Yes, however my code now is quite old and i have been in contact with them before so my code Might not work.

As far as I can tell, it has the biggest list of networks/options and none of the other share buttons categorize emailing, bookmarks and sharing separately AND have a search field (let alone the pop-up feature one of my clients wanted. So I confirmed what futta's blog (see my last comment) says about Media6Degrees.com tracking the activity of users of the AddToAny button (it's true, you can see it in AddToAny's page.js). Apparently, this is what slows down the load time. As mentioned in futta's blog comments, AddToAny has added an opt-out parameter to their API (no_3p = true). Once I used this on one of my clients websites, the load time of the AddToAny button went from about 3 seconds to 125 milliseconds. So the only thing I might need to figure out in the future is how to get it to wait until the page finishes loading to then load page.js. Actually, the only reason I have any concern on that is because addtoany.com recently went into a spell of loading way to slowly, which then affected my client's site. Perhaps with the tracking turned off, I may not need to worry about this anymore, so I'm only going to continue to keep an eye on it for now. But this raises a question about your code, since it is designed to achieve that end, and because it didn't work for me. Did it actually work for you upon trial?
