Top Rank Social Bookmarking Tool
Top Rank Social Bookmarking Tool generate a set of HTML code instead of javascript code. You can choose either Text Links or Drop Down Menu to display the social bookmarking website. You will get more controls on the separator part. For example, you can specify the character separator for Before all links, Before each link, After each link, and After all links. Although it will generate HTML code for you, but it will automatically retrieve your article title and permalink. But, the HTML code will get longer if you choose more social services.
Add to Any
If you want an all-in-one button for your visitors to either bookmark or subscribe to your blog, you can consider Add to Any. They provide a nice-looking image for your bookmark button. Before you cerate you button, you should choose either create a feed or page button and insert your page URL. After this, you will get a HTML + javascript code and then you can paste them in your theme files. I believe this is the best service, if you want your page look neat and you don’t require all social services.
Conclusion

@soundtrackgeek: No, these scripts are just provide a button for user to submit to their favorite social bookmarking website. Unless they click all the buttons one by one, else it just submit to one site.
Great finds. The Share This plugin also works quite well and adds options to email the page to someone also.
Like the other commentors I use addthis.com too. First thing is we don’t need to personalise individual buttons for each post, the javascript button from addthis does it for us.
Great Find! Was browsing through the net for widgets to add to my WP blog. I shall look into those you listed. Cheers!
This is great, but isn’t it considered spamming if you submit to many sites at once? Will Google like it?
