Description

From Sina: "Eventually you should geoip locate foreign users and show vk/tencent/renren/weibo buttons as appropriate."

I think instead of basing it on location, we can just do it on language–should be close enough. VKontakte, Tencent QQ, Renren, Weibo... I bet there are plenty of others that might be good to add. We see such high engagement with the crappy Facebook, Twitter, and G+ buttons that we have. (People also press the GitHub star button, but that's slightly different.)

We'll have to figure out when to show which ones so that we don't have like 50 of them. A better interface would be handy.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ sharing buttons, then read the linked VKontakte, Tencent QQ, Renren, and Weibo sharing-button documentation. Define how language determines which services appear and how the interface avoids showing too many buttons; done means the selected language-relevant buttons are presented through a clearer interface.
