Don’t be a hater! :)Just because these buttons aren’t a panacea, doesn’t mean they should be cast into outer darkness. Speaking personally, I’ve used them from time to time myself, so I can’t in all honesty say they’re totally worthless.But you’re right -- it’s probably wildly overoptimistic to think they’ll make a huge difference for most blogs/sites.
