 * When clicking the icon to submit a story to Digg the article is not correctly
   picked up because the URL is garbled. It appears that an ampersand is not correctly
   escaped. For instance go to my site, anotherearlymorning.com, click on a post,
   then try to submit it to digg.

 * I’m noticing the same issue on my site with links to Digg, Google, and Tumblr.
   I’m using Sociable 3.4.4, WordPress 2.8.3.

 * Fixed, I think. In sociable.php, I changed the URLs to the following which appear
   to be working just fine:
 *     ```
       'Digg' => Array(
       		'favicon' => 'digg.png',
       		'url' => 'http://digg.com/submit?url=PERMALINK&title=TITLE',
       	),
   
       'Google' => Array (
       		'favicon' => 'googlebookmark.png',
       		'url' => 'http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=edit&bkmk=PERMALINK&title=TITLE&annotation=EXCERPT',
       		'description' => 'Google Bookmarks'
       	),
   
       'Tumblr' => Array(
       		'favicon' => 'tumblr.png',
       		'url' => 'http://www.tumblr.com/share?v=3&u=PERMALINK&t=TITLE&s=EXCERPT',
       	),
       ```

 * I faced the same issue for the other URLs also, did the same.
 * Just removed the **&amp** with semicolon and place the **&** only.
 * It works.

 * I added the following line to `sociable.php`, just after line 637:
 * > `$url = str_replace('&amp ;', '&', $url);`
 * This fixed both my Digg and LinkedIn links as far as I can tell.
 * Edit: the forum doesn’t want to take my &amp ; bit. Just remove the space between&
   amp and ; and the code snippet above is correct.
