Can you honestly say you've ever used one? I haven't.

 

That's like post toaster but with less services. Did you make this widget? It looks like the social marker one.

Sheree

 

Wow lot of flame here. To answer you guys:
- Yes I use them. not only me millions of others use them. Thats why we have visitors from Digg, Reddit... (if you heard of them).
- Yes I have made it. I am not familiar with social marker; I am sure there are other similar tools.

 

I didn't mean the actual services - it's obvious people use those - I was referring to the widget. I always see those on blogs but never use them and everyone I've asked has said it's pretty much useless. Perhaps a simple way to up on Reddit and Digg would be useful, but a general service = bleh.

It's not flaming - it's a simple question of usability.

 

I would look at it this way. Lets say you have some visitors. And some of them use social networking sites like Digg, Reddit etc. If they like a post on your blog or some page on your website they may vote for you. Having a social widget on your site is sort of like a reminder for the visitors to vote. Its better then having nothing; and after all it does not cost anything. But indeed its the choice of the webmaster to have it or not.

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but I haven't used them either. Many times i just don't think to.

I was going to use them for my site, but I'd be willing to bet that most don't click on them. I instead put a short 3-sentence sales pitch suggesting to my readers to tell others about the articles they just read, and, if they are a DIGG fan, share it with others.

It's the same in getting them to put it in their "favorites."

A lot of times you have to TELL them to do something in order for them to act.

I don't know, perhaps combine the two? ... The button along with the sales pitch?
