Another great site is sociallist.org. I know that too many choices can be overwhelming, but I have never found a bookmarking site with more breadth.

I am using Sexy bookmark on Internet Techies. It is cool, good looking and easier for viewers. Bloggers should locate this social button on proper place.

@Tech-Freak You can decide based on your design. I will recommend “Sexy bookmark” for your blog as it suits your latest post as well (Just Kidding). Seriously, Sexy bookmark or add to any will work wonders for your blog.

How can I set up my post categories to appear at the top bar of the page, as in this site, instead of appearing at the side bar, under the category widget
