October 27th, 2008 1:52 amNot bad, although a bit generic :)

October 27th, 2008 2:05 amLooks nice, but what do you need these icons for? Do you write about social platforms all day?

October 27th, 2008 2:08 am@Andreas: if you are a blogger, you may use them to increase your traffic by asking visitors to support you in social media sites.

October 27th, 2008 2:08 amHow many of these social icon packs do you think the world needs???
Seems to be an easy way to get a great backlink for every designer.
Sit down for an hour, create a template, paste the social bookmarking logos in and thats it.
Boring…

October 27th, 2008 2:20 amThe word “social” is spelled wrong in the preview ;)
Anyways, nice icons. They are really useful for me!

October 27th, 2008 6:14 amAnother quiet day at Smashing Magazine? There are too many of these social icon sets featuring on the site now. Worse still, this one’s a bit of a lazy example that was probably designed expressly for free adversising. V-boring.

October 27th, 2008 10:38 amI just don’t believe these are the quality that smashingmagazine usually holds, not a fan.

October 27th, 2008 6:10 pmWith all due respect to the icon designers and Smashing’s editors/authors, these “social” icon sets are a massive waste of bandwidth. Thank you to Aravind Ajith, but perhaps your time would be better spent making something other than fadworthy icon sets.

October 27th, 2008 9:23 pmIf you love a post/site only you will bookmark/share, isn’t it?. Basic idea of these icons lies there.. I know already there are enough social icons out there. But this is something I was looking for when I redesigned my blog. I found nobody has released these kind of ‘heart shaped’ icons before.. So I just skipped off the idea and used some other icons. Later I thought if I design icons in this idea, there would be somebody who will be happy to use them.. Anyway, thanks for all the comments.. =)

I was just wondering. We’ve got a lot social bookmarking and rss icons for download, but the question is, “How many of these are really being put to use by other designers?”

January 31st, 2009 12:08 pmI use these on my blog. I’ve looked through all these comments, and no one has mentioned that the 64px set does not contain a Digg icon, and the Digg icon in the 32px set is only 16 x 16 px. Can the designer post a corrected set? Thanks in advance.

April 19th, 2009 11:49 pmVery Nice Collection
As “Dot” mentioned Digg Icon is missing. Please post Digg icon for 64×64 size
Thanks

May 30th, 2012 5:39 pmThese are adorable! So much nicer than the usual ‘squareish’ RSS icons. But, I’m with Jas up there … trying to figure out how to upload ‘em and make ‘em active links on my WP site. Any techie helpers out there?
Kevin
June 11th, 2012 4:43 pmLOVE these and will ba adding them my website, but was wondering if you had doen a “You Tube” one? Also Cindy & Jaz easiest way to add them a WP theme is DL the zip file for the theme and locate in there where your icons are and simply replace them in the zip file with these, remove the theme using your admin page, then reupload (is that a word?) the zip file direct from your comp and VOILA!! Heart shaped icons!! (dont worry all your formatting will remain when you remove then reapply your theme, the only thing that will change is your artwork) You can use this technique to change ANY of the artwork in your theme, just triple check your pictures are the same size!!
