    There a few more like:

    stumbleupon.com
    del.icio.us
    furl.net

    but I never managed to get a few hits from them.

    If someone likes to give each other a bump on those sites, send me a PM.

    No live links because of postcount.

    I put my own site on StumbleUpon and according to Google Analytics I get quite a few hits from it. Didn't get any hits from del.icio.us though.

    Not tried furl.net, might give that a go...

    Another one is blinklist.com

    There are hundreds of these social bookmarking sites. I rarely get hits from them. They seemed like a good idea for a way to generate links, but I don't think the SE's pay much respect to them since they are so easily manipulated. Now if you write an article that makes the home page of one of these sites, you will get a lot of traffic from it. But it's temporary. Once the article gets bumped down the list, usually a day, the traffic goes with it.

    Actually, the good ones aren't easily manipulated. for instance stumbleupon makes it real hard to enter more than a few URL's from the same domain.

    del.icio.us sends me a bit of traffic; stumbleupon which sends me a lot of traffic.
    They do work for link-building because the people using these tools are usually more web-savvy and therefore more likely to have a blog to put a link to your website on, if they liked it. But you do need content people like for this to work.
    del.icio.us does get indexed by yahoo and the myspace search-engine (which would seem like an interesting new player on the block) even had del.icio.us-pages in their top 10 results when I checked it for one of my keywords recently. So I would not underestimate the power these things have. But spamming them is probably hard.
    Adding your most popular url's isn't a bad idea, because people will find them if they search for your topic - and perhaps add them to their favorites - making it more easily found etc. But the basis is: only if people actually like your content does this stuff make sense.
