Sure, it's a slow burn, but how else do people find out about these things? If they see the digg icon enough times, the might investigate what it's all about.

We use them on our blog but keep it neat using sharethis.com. I agree that for people like you [and me] we don't need these icons as we have our browsers hooked up with the buttons we need. Tools like Mahalo Follow also let you incorporate mutli posting to your various bookmarking channels which makes life even easer. But, we are in the 'early adopter' category, many others don't have this hooked up and may be using Yahoo or Google, which these tools will also cater for. You may also be travelling and not have your preferred browser hooked up. I would suggest, therefore that offering these links are more for convenience than for mass traffic generation. They shouldn't take up to much space or bandwidth so just leave them on :-) I think the icons have a benefit. We use them on our blog but keep it neat using sharethis.com.
