Making a site social media friendly needs addition of social media buttons so its really important to install social media buttons in sites especially sites which have content that is readable.
Although social media buttons are installed in every site/blog below articles or above articles but advanced sharing tools aren't common. Advanced sharing tools means sharing buttons in each and every thing such as images.

Images not only put interest in boring articles but also play a major role in bringing traffic from search engines and social networks.
