So I have seen a few widgets around that make use of seemingly custom social media share buttons.

Are these buttons made by simply extracting the URL being built from the API? Or is there a better way to do this?

The iFrame versions are quite "invasive" and often do not fit the flow or style of many sites... I love the way the widgets look, but even those need some custom love.

I have read the APIs for a few of the social media sites (FB, LIn, Tw, etc..), and it seems that you are either bound to a custom XML markup (FB) or plopping in JS that will ultimately render an iFrame.

What am I missing in how to create a more custom buttons to share content?

Thanks!
