Just because they support 98 different kinds of blog aggregators or what not didn't really appeal to me. @mike, same here man. there are quite a few solutions out there, and my decision was based solely on which one is easier to install and the interface is easy to access and none invasive to the blog content.

Sharethis, on the other hand, uses a JavaScript snippet to display the buttons. As a result, I found that the page pauses for a bit when it needs to process the segment before loading the rest of the page.

Jay Pullur (the founder behind tell-a-friend) reads here and he would love to hear your thoughts. He also asked about multi-lingual support. Any thoughts on that? @Danny, haha yes you’ve got a point. its probably a 90% miss but it’s success is also very dependent on our TYPE of content and how much our readers appreciate it. maybe a great video or funny picture would go viral, but definitely not a blogpost like mine. :) Btw you got any feedback please feel free to leave it here.

I know when you have this implemented in websites they're often neglected and not used. Even in blogs, I think now what they do is click the most popular ones only. Like Digg and etc. Anyway, this was something I pondered when I read this post. :P Do people still use Tell a Friend?
