Styles

There are no styles included, the components pass all their props down to their element like className and style so you can easily style them yourself.

Notice

• When rendered server side counts will be 0 since they depend on JSONP.
• GooglePlusCount, TwitterCount and PocketCount uses the donreach API which has a limit of 1000 requests per day.
