Social Bookmarks, which one?

Rog posted in

The updates and transformation of this old blog from NecroRogicon »» MMOROG are almost complete. I'm sure the regular visitors here have noticed a whole whackload of layout and feature changes. I've added polls, styles that support narrow browsers, an all-in-one archive page and of course the tags and social bookmark links, which brings me to...

Social Bookmarks, do you bother using them? I've been slow to adopt them myself, partially because I've felt they're mostly toys and back-patting tools for web-design geeks, moreso than other social networks and the so-called Web 2.0. Yeah, it's fun to make a Tagcloud and in theory with the social bookmarks I'm both supporting my audience and giving opportunity to let it grow. But I'm also an anti-clutter and keep-it-simple kinda guy and these things seem more complex than they need to be.

Am I in the minority here though, have you folks passed this geek by and embraced these? I've thrown a poll up on the topic to find out if I should keep the social bookmark links. Right now I'm providing links for Digg, del.icio.us, Furl, Newsvine, Reddit, Stumblupon, Blogmarks, Ma.gnolia, Technorati, Yahoo! Bookmarks and Slashdot Bookmarks. You can click these in little icon boxes below each MMOROG article.

Perhaps instead of trying to support a myriad of social bookmarking sites, I should just focus on one great system. But which one? Wikipedia lists dozens.
