Blogging is a great part of modern web. Most boggers are attentive to different web design sites and it seems it’s really rewarding.

A famous web designers’ resource Smashingmagazine.com has recently released a useful frebee. This time it’s a free set of “social” icons. Have a look at it. Note in a case you wish to download this Icon set you should visit Smashing Magazine.

One would say freebies are always warmly welcomed by the audience. Nevertheless this very icon set has started a contradictory discussion at Smashing Magazine. Readers were commenting this freebee stating it’s very similar to Free Bloggers Icon Set which has been recently released at Blog.Templates.com. Probably you remember that we’ve already mentioned this in one of our previous posts. Nevertheless this picture will remind you the way free icon set for bloggers represented by Blog.Templates.com looks like.

Seems these icon sets have a lot in common. In fact the post describing this freebee at SM is very similar to the one at Templates.com’s blog. Both posts describe why free icon sets were designed and give the details of design process. Though, it’s rather rough to say that one designer has stolen the idea from the other. Let’s say free icons represented at Blog.Templates.com has inspired the designer whose icons are available for download at Smashing Magazine.

Whatever the truth is bloggers will benefit because they have a lot of social icons to choose from. So comparethese icon sets, choose which icons are the best for you and download.
