   Hi all!

   We have recently started to include buttons for social bookmarking services such as delicious, digg etc. in our posts.

   For those who wonder: Here are two nice and simple explanation of how to do that:
   http://mamado.wordpress.com/2007/03/15/adding-social-networks-buttons-to-wordpresscom-posts/
   http://archgfx.net/blog/2006/geek/blogging/social-bookmarks-on-wordpresscom

   Now my question: Those of you who have some experience with this, which of the many available services did you find most useful, i.e. which gave you the most traffic? I'm asking in particular because the posts linked above are fairly dated so I dont know whether these are all still major players or whether something essential is missing. Also, I'd prefer to have as little buttons as possible - which do you think make sense?

   Of course, this will depend to some extent on the specific content. In our case, its reggae / dub / dubstep music.

   Thanks in advance!

   If you own a windows based pc then get Get Social would be the way to
   go compared to changing the code your self every time you want to screen castadd
   book marks to your post. With Get Social it's done with 3 easy Clicks
   See it for your self with this easy to follow tutorial I created

   If you own a Mac Or Linux the do it your self replace the code option
   is your only option at this point which you can find in the above post

   I find Stumble Upon to be the most useful
