I am trying to find a good gem that will allow me to add social media sharing buttons to my Rails 3 app (similar to the Wordpress plugins AddThis). The key sites that I want to enable sharing with are Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+. I want to allow two levels of sharing i.e. the ability to share a link to the site as a whole and the ability to share specific pages or posts on the site. Thanks in advance!

What gems would you recommend?
