Which sites do you use to share and save your content. I use digg, delicious, bx buisness exchange, stumbleupon, reddit, propeller, twitly.
Some of them are really easy to use in that you just have to drop the URL into the box in order to spread the reach of your content. Others require you to type out information in various fields before completing the process.
Do you know of anymore worth trying or shortcuts/ widgets for making it easier?
I use Delicious, Digg, Google Bookmarks, Linkedin (sometimes, if appropriate), Reddit, Slashdot, Spurl, StumbleUpon, Technorati

I've noticed a significant amount of traffic coming to me from Stumbleupon, but strangely when I went to look and see what was driving the traffic I couldn't find myself at all! I know SU isn't designed for people to have somewhere in mind and find it, but after 30 mins on there I was still puzzled as to the point of the site.
Thank you for your responses - i have increased our presence on a number of bookmarking sites. It is a time consuming practice but it is rich in returns in terms of traffic to our site. We would recommend focussing on one or two bookmarking sites in order to further your reach if you have time resources to commit to such things.
Have you tried using SocialMarker.com ? you can add it to your Firefox tool bar and use it to submit links to 50 social bookmarking sites. I havent tried it yet but it looks quite a good timesaving device - unless anyone knows different?
I don't like SocialMarker as it encourages people to spam all the SB sites with their stuff, but I guess if you were able to tailor your content to each one it would be a good idea.
Interesting you should say that Nikki - I've just tried using it and a lot of the bookmarking sites have messages saying "this domain has been banned for spamming" or words to that effect. Which means that you have to enter all the info manually again, which rather defeats the automatic submission part!!
Thank you for suggesting Social Marker - I have tried using it. Although the time needed to setup on a lot of the sites is a bit of a downside, the grouping of all such submissions in the one window frame has certainly increased productivity. Im not sure if i would use it all the time, rather focus the spread of our content on a few specific sites that are tailored better towards the content topic to keep it relevant and to establish a presence within these site's communities and so as not to turn into a spammer.
I haven't used any social bookmarking sites in a long time, I have used digg and stumbleupon a couple of times. When I find a site of interest I normally post it to my tumblr account for everyone to see. Even easier with the firefox toolbar widget.
