Public bug reported:

Many blog, journal, and publishing platforms include "share to social
media" buttons. Often this takes the form of a series of icons
representing different social networks, with a number underneath each
one indicating how many times it has been shared to each (see the
attached screenshot for an example from the Wired website).

We occasionally get requests for similar functionality in Mahara, and it
would make sense for certain use-cases, where Mahara is meant to be used
by adults publishing things for public consumption.

This may be something best-served by a third-party blocktype plugin,
which could be added to a page in order to put the share buttons on it.
Or, in order to achieve better layout, a module plugin with some new
hooks in the core code.

Another thing to consider is adding "share" buttons to individual
artefact pages, particularly journal entries. This may require that we
first implement individual artefact permissions.
