 * Version 2.9.5 of the Sociable plugin adds a “sociableoff” variable (value “false”
   unless set to “true”) to the custom fields every single time a post is edited.
   It doesn’t test to see if the value is already set, it adds it again on every
   save. If you’re doing minor tweaks on a published page and save it over and over
   again with each change, you can quickly collect 20 or more instances of of this
   custom field variable. I’ve tried to contact the plugin author, but I’ve received
   no reply.

 * First off I want to say I love Sociable, I include it with every fresh copy of
   WordPress I install. Keep up the great work. On with the point, **I would like
   to make a suggestion for the plugin**.
 * One tough thing for me has always been researching my target audience and determining
   which social media websites they most likely use. I could of course include all
   of them, but it’s a little daunting design wise.
 * As a potential solution I found a piece of JS code called **SocialHistory.js**
   that will tap into a browser’s history (by checking an array of links to see 
   which are marked as :visited) in order to find out what social media websites
   a person uses often. I think this would be an incredible addition to sociable.
 * With this option enabled people could selectively have sociable links/icons shown
   for the social media sites their users frequently use.
 * Here’s a test case for the JavaScript I’ve setup:
