Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Amazon SES SMTP support for Django
"""
Django's SMTP EmailBackend doesn't support an SMTP_SSL connection necessary to interact with Amazon SES's newly announced SMTP server. We need to write a custom EmailBackend overriding the default EMailBackend's open(). Thanks to https://github.com/bancek/django-smtp-ssl for the example.
