Drag To Share Like Mashable.com With jQuery

Oct
Anyone who visited Mashable lately, the popular social news website, might have seen the "drag to share" functionality which appears when hovering an image.
It is a smart technique which encourages visitors to share a story by offering a quite fun usage.
Nettuts+ is sharing a very nice tutorial (with source) that enables you to implement this feature using jQuery & jQuery UI.
It makes use of the draggable & droppable components of jQuery UI to make drag’n dropping & targeting objects possible.
To see how it works, a demo is provided as well.
Requirements: jQuery & jQuery UI

Oh my god!!
It’s easier clicking for sharing than dragging? Really do you think it’s usable??
Sometimes something pretty is not useful.
Agree with David, it can’t be used anywhere.
