Best 'share' buttons?

I want to add a 'widget' to my website so that people can share my site on facebook/twitter etc.

I've signed up to addthis but my problem is this:

I have an online form which takes the user to a php page saying 'thanks for signing, please also share this with your friends'. Trouble is, the share button tries to share the php page and not the form like I want it to.

So, I need a share button which allows me to specify the URL of my homepage manually rather than just reading the current page url.

Any ideas on what is best?

Thanks.

You are talking about Wordpress? Why don't you customize the plugin (wiget). Set in your database your url that you wanna change and when a user hit share button change it with a default value like http://somethig/my-link. In your .httaccess redirect link to your needed link

Hi, No my site isn't wordpress - I don't use a CMS. It's just a lot of sites have a 'sare this' button and when you click on it there are options to share on facebook/twitter/google etc...but they tend to automatically detect which page you're on so I was wondering if there is a way to have a button like this which points to a specific URL.

Thanks for the reply.
