It’s all about your own website or blog – just use them to point people in the right direction.

I agree with Chris Penn, all of these sites should act as billboards to point people back to your own site/blog. That is where the effort goes, that is where the payoff is.

@Ari – I use del.icio.us to bookmark for myself. I lost too many bookmarks over the years, and I find the ability to bookmark them on the web incredibly valuable. On the other side of things, I use Stumbleupon to network and share content with my friends. So a little of each.

Oh Lordy you’re more right than you thought… I’ll be on me.com from July 11th ;)

I don’t think blogs count as social sites, i.e. they are not there for the purpose of interaction per se, that is a side effect of the ones that allow comments.

I ditched that when I got a lot of spam, and I prefer Pownce of all the me-too messaging sites as it does something useful. But… these will perish or merge, for sure!
