| Facebook | facebook |
| LinkedIn | linkedin |
| Pinterest | pinterest |
| Pocket | pocket |
| Reddit | reddit |
| Twitter | twitter |

Generating links
Sharing links require a title and URL. They may also include an excerpt, where supported by the network. There are three ways of specifying the link to be shared using the Socialize class:
You can then specify the social networks that should appear in the output and generate the links, using the keys in the table above:
Each link will be an array, with name, url, color, and (optionally) icon keys.
Utilities
You can use the Socialize class's static methods as utilities, e.g. to get the icon of a social network for use elsewhere in a theme.
