Add To MyYahoo button

Is it worthwhile?

[cabbagehead]

I've noticed all the competing bookmarking technologies are now offering quicklink buttons - Del.icio.us, MyYahoo, MSN ... are these buttons worthwhile adding on my pages? All of them or just one perhaps? They take up a lot of screespace after a while.

Thanks.

I have had a Yahoo button and a RSS button. Nobody has subscribed to the Yahoo feed apart from me but the RSS button has had a lot of interest. I've now put on a nowpublic.com button.

I don't know whether people subscribed to my various Yahoo feeds through the Yahoo rss content directory or the MyYahoo button but I've had up to 1000 subscribers

I am curious about this too - the company owner and I are in complete disagreement about whether or not to add "+Google" or "+MyYahoo", MyAOL, MSN, etc. The list goes on. There are dozens of readers and homepages that we could add to. I agree with him that having all those buttons is ugly, and engadget does it well with text links, but even then... having a slick little javascript that will pop them in and out is simple, but is it worth it?

I maintain that its better to have the functionality for customers to do it (add to blogs, add to homepage) - one, it might help create a buzz on external sites (via blogs), two - it takes some load away from the server (although depending on the reader, that may not be true), and three its easy, why the hell not.

Any comments?
