> There was a discussion at the Village Pump on en-wikipedia a year ago about implementing the rather familiar link sharing options that more and more websites have installed in order to increase readership.Typically this would show as:
>
> Save to del.icio.us • Share on Facebook • Digg This! • outside.in:
> geotag this story • Discuss on Newsvine • Stumble It! • Sphere: Related
> Content • Add to del.icio.us.

I don't see how things like Digg are useful for an encyclopaedia.
Aren't they more for topical stuff? The only thing you really need to
share a page is to copy and paste the URL into an email, people can do
that without our help.
