AddThis, a free service that allows visitors to bookmark webpages on social websites, today released an interesting report that showcases the current trends in social bookmarking.
While Google Boorkmarks, del.icio.us, Yahoo! MyWeb are the most popular places for saving bookmarks, local bookmarking is at an impressive third-place and nearly as popular as the del.icio.us system.
If you provide users with an easy option, they are more likely to put your content in their local bookmarks folder.
Here are detailed instructions on adding the "Bookmark the website" or "Bookmark the web page" link to your blog on Wordpress, Blogger or MovableType. The code should work on IE, Firefox and Opera.

I think those stats are pretty accurate. For me it used to be all favorites, then 100% of most bookmarks saved to delicious and the ones i find most important in my favorites. I don't want my favorites all cluttered up.
Then..with the advent of RSS, google reader, I've been deleting bookmarks from my favorites and subscribing to feeds instead.
So..a combination of favorites bar, delicious, google reader. and for fun, stumbleupon.
