I’d recommend adding SexyBookmarks by Shareaholic to the list.
@Jack thanks for mentioning Sexybookmarks . How could I missed that.

Great collection of plugins. I think AddtoAny is the best because it doesn’t load a JS file when not used.
Here’s the Facebook Like button plugin (for the new Like button released April 21st 2010) available from Wordpress:

I like the adaptability of share and follow. It’s only one month old so far and growing in to a nice application…
I am a bit bias as I made it. So far I have only glowing reports from everyone. People like the share url image setup quite a lot as others dont have it.
Just about to re-invent into version 2 with a new menu and many other features and icons/networks.
