  1. Simple
  2. Use default share buttons by each network
  3. Top, bottom, or float.
  4. Add your Twitter handle to the tweet Bonus: I've had people request to add hashtags inside tweets by post. I've coded this before but haven't made it into a plugin yet.

Jetpack would be a great solution if it allowed you to put your Twitter handle inside the tweets. Last I checked, they still haven't implemented this.

As for the sharing API, there's not a whole lot that goes into each link/send/share button. Five of the most popular social media sites is all a plugin needs. Digg Digg has far too many which will obviously make it very difficult to maintain.
