    I have implemented a sharethis button as you can see on the left hand side:

    This will make it easier to share content with your social networks. It also has the added feature when someone copies text it automatically puts a see more at: url at the end of what is copied which I think will be great for SEO and bring some visitors back to original content.

    I think people will generally scrape content so this is a way of letting them but adding a link in there as well. No Hide button and I wonder how it looks on smaller screens....

    Not going to be implemented in the mobile theme as that would just take too much space.

    I might be able to make a show / hide slider Amkay we will see how it goes but looks quite unobtrusive in my opinion.

    Thanks to the genius of Amkay you can disable the ShareThis button Aby$m and Remington

    Obviously some others also find it not useful since they do not have any social networking sites.

    How to block? well you can download Adblock which is an extension for your browser. This little amazing thing can do much more than just block ads but any element in a webpage. Note there are alternatives for FF and IE.

    Safari (Download)
    Chrome (Download)
    Firefox (Download)
    Internet Explorer (Download)

    After installation right click on the element then click AdBlock > Block this Ad

    Move the element until it disappears, then select Looks good

    I have also removed the stupid hash tag. E.g:
    Code:
    Select All
    #sthash.NvKlPDhk.dpuf
    In the URL bar that generated a new hash each time you use the back and forward buttons on your browser and prevented you from navigating.
