Where find Social Bookmarking Submission formats and script?

[steveatvillas]

Hi Folks:

I want to add a Social Bookmarking tool to my website, and can't seem to find a script where the provider hasn't sunk it's hooks into it to promote themselves, or where my visitors are taken off my server to the provider's server...where their visitor data is scraped.

I looked at "AddThis" — to the typical Internet user, it's cool, convenient and universal, but not without concerns:

• AddThis code fails W3C validation for XHTML, that's clunky!

• Also fails W3C validation for CSS, because the CSS is on AddThis's server, equally clunky.

• The email component resides on AddThis's server. So they're also scraping my visitor's email address and also the recipient's. Scary!

• I contacted AddThis and asked them what they were doing with the visitor data. Their reply: "We haven't formulated our business plan at this time, and we will not comment further." Which, to me, means they are collating the data and selling it on. Or at the very least, being very evasive; i.e., not being transparent and straightforward. Same thing.

• My visitors are taken off of my server and on to AddThis's server.

I've looked at many others, but they, too, store the .png images on their servers and who knows what else?

I can't find a resource for the various submission formats, and .png icons, used by all the different Social Networking websites.

I want to add my own corporate look and feel to the pop up, not someone elses'.

I do NOT want to exit my website or server until the visitor chooses to "Submit" and then be taken to his or her S.N. website of choice.

In other words, I want my own script, on my server, with no outsider able to scrape visitor usage data.

Can anyone help, or guide me in the right direction??

Thanks,

Steve
