Dealing with social/bookmark/tagging intensity.

There's no shortage of sites out there that show off blog posts, get you in touch with other bloggers, and absorb as much time as possible.

Today I've been wandering through all the MyBlogLogs, diggs, del.icio.uses, technoratis, newsvines, and etceteras out there. Are there any of these that you shouldn't be without? Where can I expect to see value?

I would say STumbleUpon and Delicious are the top two. A lot of bloggers do use Technorati so it can't hurt to have that and depending on your content, Digg could be a good one.

When I see 20 chicklets underneath a blog post, I don't really know what the majority of them are for.

Just Technorati. And I'm planning to use stumble upon soon.

Full flavor? :p

Well I guess its time to remove some of mine! :D

I don't think you should remove them, shyflower. They aren't cluttered, and they're pretty. Eye-candy can be nice! Especially if it serves a purpose.

Well some people know what they are for..I just have never heard of half of those sites....like Furl.. have no clue and just haven't bothered to look. I guess I'm lazy :p

[samwoodfin]

Furl bugs me a bit. Instead of just bookmarking, it actually archives the pages you add.

Well thank you sam. :o
