+=== Querying Shares Per URL ====
+We should be able to query the number of shares a url has on demand and without leaking user data. The following are example api calls that return the number of shares for a specific URL.
+Note we should check if there are any API limits or other funky restrictions, if so we should cache these at a reasonable interval.
+'''Facebook'''
+<pre>
+https://api.facebook.com/method/links.getStats?urls=http://www.mozilla.org&format=json
+</pre>
+'''Twitter'''
+<pre>
+http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=www.mozilla.org
+</pre>
+'''G+'''
+Google does not appear to allow access to the raw share count, and AFAIK there is no public API for this methind. A possible workaround is to call the following url and extract the number.
+<pre>
+https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/fastbutton?url=http://www.mozilla.org
+</pre>
+This is particularly problematic because the number returned could be a string (1.6k) and will need to be normalized.
