I strongly believe that Dig/Twitface/etc buttons DO NOT belong on misc pages 
across the web. If someone wants to go "marking" (or whatever the term is) 
different sites or pages with those services, then that belongs in something 
that's orthogonal to the pages themselves, such as a browser feature or 
plugin. The current trend of embedding it in each page on the web just drags 
us all back to the dark ages when every application came with it's own set 
of drivers or {insert your own example of absurd non-orthogonality}. It 
makes absolutely no sense.

Plus, I don't want to see us jump on the bandwagon of being yet another 
uppity trend-whorish site trying to cram those moronic "services" down 
everyone's throats.

*Cough* Umm, eerrmm...I mean..."I'm not sure if it's really something we 
should do." ;)
