Social icons in CSS3

Putting these small images together into one file is a good way to speed up the load times of the page.

However, I think the the CSS file would have been smaller with the icons as PNGs in a data URI or by using a single CSS-Sprite. You wouldn't be able to scale the icons, though.

CSS-Sprite is one way to speed up the load time but even though this css file is still much smaller than the size of images used in CSS-Sprite. And on the other hand the programmer could change icon property(like gradient , radius etc) very easily.
