I've come across both Facebook and Twitter now offering some decent first party tools(more so Facebook with a nice free Java SDK) It would be nice to see a themed version of both the Like Button and tweet buttons added to Single Posts. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/ref … ugins/like
http://twitter.com/goodies/tweetbutton
And yes I know I can add them, but it would be nice to see them themed and built right into the theme.
Me too - also likes for comments would be good too 
and maybe dislike as well.

For comments you can use GD Star plugin, I don't really see a point in facebook liking a comment.
And here is a great example of my request, the nice bar at the top with Facebook like and Share, Tweet, Digg, and Stumbleupon.

There are plugins for that, why should it be in the theme itself?
Because plugins slow sites down. Plus they would require theme users to either allow the plugin to place the buttons, or need to dig into the code. Since the buttons are open code through facebook/twitter they would be faster being already coded into the site.
On that note, after playing around with the facebook like button on my site, one thing that issue that is popping up is how it pulls an image for a thumbnail when someone shares a story. The fix would be to code a meta tag
<meta property="og:image" content="arras thumbnail url here"/>The thing is I don't have a clue what the call would be for arras thumbnail, any help/just an additional suggestion if this is added to the site.

You really think so? If they aren'rt heavy on css or js they don't.
