I have not made up my mind yet, so far we have been using ShareThis for social bookmarking links, for submitting to sites such as Twitter, Delicious, Digg, etc. I think I would rather pick the few that are the most important and write them myself into the site.
I am going to start by doing that with Twitter. Thanks to a post on the MT.org forums, posts now have a quicker way to add links to Twitter. It uses the bit.ly API. You just need to signup for an account to get an API key. Hit the jump to see my modified code.
Another option is to use TweetMeme but their badge is pretty big, and I wanted something less obtrusive.
