Especially google as it is among the best search engine out there who used to love content which is unique as well as quality content.

One of the oldest and popular social-bookmarking site with over millions of stumblers. This is a content discovery site where user can submit a webpage(s) of their site and tag(label, categories) them based on the content. It is free to use and user can see other content based on their chosen category. This service can be benefical for getting lots of visitors.
This is not a bookmarking site but still it is in the list because of it's wide popularity in the internet. Basically it is a news aggregator site which provides you the facility to submit your posts or articles. The service is not for everyone but there are wide categories based on them you can post or submit your post's url to them.
You might be thinking why Google+ is in the list but let me tell you that google+ manages to make you smile with the feature to share posts that you have written with your friends and people who follows you. With your google account you can manage to share post that you have written. It is just like a social-media site and if you have blogspot blog like mine it becomes very easy to setup connections between your profile and your blog .
Yes facebook is probably one of the best social-media site available till date, but facebook is just not for social-media it is other than that. Have you ever made an official/fan page on facebook, or group?. See if you haven't you are missing something because facebook has a huge user base over of 10 millions, so go on create a facebook page/group and then you can just create a like box like I have and connect it with your facebook page.
Though twitter is all about tweets,retweets or followers. But it is also a social media site which is growing popularly, twitter is very helpful as a blogger I have seen, because first of all you can add your site's url as well as you can share your post. Twitter also let you follow other people with same interests. As well as twitter seems to give you and your blog a professional look.
