Swipe gestures for mobile website

Question

I'm looking to create swipe gestures for this mobile website prototype I'm working on: http://patthorntonfiles.com/snk_mobile/

The idea is that when you swipe left across a story on the homepage, four icons would appear: email story, Facebook, Twitter and like. If you've used Sparrow for the iPhone, I'm looking for a very similar gesture. I'm looking for a standards-based way to do this. The prototype already uses jQuery for some other parts.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you're looking for but search for JS Swipe Libraries. I just used HammerJS on my last project.

Javascript example:

var hammer = new Hammer(document.getElementById("news_article"));
hammer.ondragend = function(ev) {
    $('.icons').fadeIn();
};
