Succinctly stated – you can’t.
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

http://seanspainting.org/ is a free hosted WordPress.com blog. You cannot install any plugins into that blog – period.

At the bottom of each post and page, you can now include sharing buttons for your readers to share your content across a range of social networks/services. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

You can’t use plugins on a blog hosted at WordPress.COM. You have a blog hosted at WordPress.com; buying a custom domain doesn’t change the hosting, only the URL. If you want to use plugins, you have to buy paid hosting, transfer your domain name to the new site, install software from WordPress.org, install themes, then download and install plugins in your new webspace. You will also have to be responsible for all upgrades and security on the new site.
TT already gave you the link for the sharing buttons to use on your WP.com site. It’s easy to use and already built in. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/
