Can't say I've ever used buttons like that - if I can't do something
like that via a bookmarklet, I don't do it at all!
Whether we're in the majority or not Jason, is another matter - looking
at the comments on The Editor's blog, it's been a favourable
introduction with some.

Reading them also meant I saw http://www.shareicons.com/ for the first
time as well (I'm probably very out of touch!)

Most (all?) of these sites have bookmarklet functionality.
Pretty harsh to ban that.
I bet these buttons aren't used by 99% or more of the people
that visit the pages. I don't think the average visitor cares. You only
have to look at the del.ico.us homepage to see that the most bookmarked
stuff is all about web dev URLs.

Many corporates and public places (cybercafe's) ban
toolbars so it can be handy to have them on the page?

Surely anyone with any interest in these
services has a toolbar button or
other browser function to carry out this task?
How else would you add URLs
that don't have these buttons?
Waste of space.
