Currently adding animation but the thought is that once a user clicks the heart icon, the social "bubbles" spin/slide out, allowing the user to choose where they would prefer to "like" the associated content.
My concern is that clicking from a UX perspective indicates user commitment. Since you're saying "Wait, you haven't committed yet... (Haha, got ya!)" I would stick to having it happen on :hover. I think the click is interesting, but might be confusing. What if I just wanted to "like" it (like an on-site, no-login "like")? What if my network is not listed?
Going off of @Brian Feister ... I feel that a "heart" acts like Dribbble likes. I believe if you chose another symbol for sharing that'd be better. I wouldn't worry about not having a network that someone wants to share with. This is where I believe you have every right to control that experience. For instance, you might prefer people shared something over Dribbble than Forrest or even Facebook over Reddit. This all depends on the audience and the presence you have on each network or even want to have.

Would love some feedback on this.

looks great, wonder how the bg blur was made, it is not simple blur, right? :)

I like this! Inspired by Path? The only concern would be the icons being potentially confusing as to what they are...

If you click on the heart, it should randomly rotate and highlight a single website like dribble, then link you to something from that network
