 * Hello,
 * Does anyone know what plugins are used on WordPress.com to implement the functionality
   for the Rate this / Share this / Like this features?
 * I am in the process of migrating my blog from WordPress.com to a self-hosted 
   environment and would would very much like to carry the same functionality there.(
   By default, it’s not available.)
 * Also, would it be possible to migrate the current Likes/Rates to the new self-
   hosting environment? I’m guessing if the same plugins are used and if the Export/
   Import actions are capable of handling the associated data this should be doable…
   or not? Anyone with more experience in this area?
 * Would really appreciate some advice.
 * Thanks!

 * If you are referring to the “Likes/Share” that are within the WP.COM network,
   no there is no equivalent in WP.ORG — because self-hosted sites have no connection
   to each other. There ARE, however, many plug-ins for using “external” social 
   media — fb, twitter, etc.

 * Well, out of that many plugins that exist for social media I would have loved
   to use EXACTLY those used by WordPress.com on their standard offering. That’s
   why I am interested in the name of those plugins — so that I can check them out.
 * In the meantime I stumbled upon Jetpack plugin which IS published by WordPress.
   com and DOES offer similar functionality (and some extra) but not quite a perfect
   match with what they have on the free blogs hosted at WordPress.com. Or do I 
   need to further customize the plugin somehow?
 * For example, the buttons that are shown after the “Share this:” text are not 
   the same as the ones available on WordPress.com. There also not as many.
 * The whole “Publicize” section is missing (the one that lets one connect to Facebook,
   Twitter, etc., so that a new post on the blog is automatically published on those
   services as well).
 * Does anyone has experiences with this?
 * Thanks!
