(Although your personal blog might fit; or as a recommendation tool). There are other considerations too, like privacy, etc.<BR/><BR/>However, most bloggers are looking for traffic, maximizing their social network contributions (because the widget allows them Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249654290264168416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10282351.post-70385005145606854132008-03-11T12:50:00.000-07:002008-03-11T12:50:00.000-07:00I'm still not using this widget, because the thing...I'm still not using this widget, because the things I stumble, blog about, digg, bookmark, etc., are rarely all going to be relevant to the different audiences on all my blogs. Maybe my personal blog would be okay, but that's Wordpress.com and so impossible. Maybe my tumblelog on Tumblr, but I prefer to post links and quotes using Tumblr's own features there.
