• Use twitter’s API to get  number of followers;
• Use Facebook’s new Graph API (link) to get information about the number of fans of  facebook fanpage.

reddit integration code

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.reddit.com/button.js?t=2"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>reddit_url='[URL]'</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>reddit_title='[TITLE]'</script>

In wordpress themes, we need to replace [URL] and [TITLE] with WordPress’ <?php the_permalink() ?> and <?php the_title(); ?>, and  then placing the sourcode within the WordPress loop. You can placing this integration code in index.php, single.php or page.php.

default single.php

<div id="content">

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post">

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<span class="postDate"><?php the_date('F j, Y'); ?> in <?php the_category(', ') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></span>

<div class="entry">

<?php the_content('&amp;amp;raquo; &amp;amp;raquo; &amp;amp;raquo;'); ?>

</div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

Placing reddit button within wordpress loop, before comment_template() tag;

<div id="content">

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post">

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<span class="postDate"><?php the_date('F j, Y'); ?> in <?php the_category(', ') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></span>

<div class="entry">

<?php the_content('&amp;amp;raquo; &amp;amp;raquo; &amp;amp;raquo;'); ?>

</div>
<div id="social_bookmarks">
<div class="social_button">
<div class="reddit">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.reddit.com/button.js?t=2"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>reddit_url='<?php the_permalink();?>'</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>reddit_title='<?php the_title();?>'</script>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); ?>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

#social_bookmarks .social_button {
background:#f7f7f7 none repeat scroll 0 0;
