I suppose that makes sense, but I prefer the other personally. Maybe it would be a good idea to put the Share This link, and a couple of the bigger sites like Digg and StumbleUpon?

It depends on your audience. Some people will know that “Share This” means “submit to a social bookmarking site”, and other’s will not know what it means and ignore it. The same applies to the icons — even regular users might not recognize the icons for their favourite social bookmarking site.

“Share This” also involves an extra click, which can be sufficient to mean people don’t bother.
