identifying an accessible social media sharing widget

Greetings, WebAIM:

I was looking at the Share This widget, on behalf of a client. It's
not very accessible, at least based on the versions I've seen:

http://www.sharethis.com/

In my search, I ran across this thread, regarding an implementation
of it as a Drupal module:

https://drupal.org/node/1289054

It was certainly disheartening to see someone from the company
repeatedly indicate in here that the company had no plans to fix
issues, despite the provision of specific recommendations.

Has anyone found a more accessible version of something like this
that they'd like to recommend?

A Drupal module would be handy, but a basic sharing widget that can
be deployed anywhere would also be useful to me.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Best,
Jennifer
