When you spend more time working on your stuff and less promoting it you will find that people tend to actually WANT to submit it themselves. Fact is, submissions only tend to do well if they are submitted by a power profile, someone with a lot of friends and reputation for bookmarking good stuff. These people spend a whole lot more time than you do on the social sites and spending as much time as they do takes away from your own writing. Its laid out for you in the name of the service.. social BOOKMARKING. Why would I want to bookmark something when I already know where to find it? Natural bookmarks from visitors receive a much better response. If you’re talking about digg and social bookmarking like that I think its’ actually a waste of time.
