Addthis, Sharethis, Onlywire are adding clutter too. Besides some of them do have security issues as well.

I could not resist the temptation and placed a couple of buttons on my web, but I am trying to keep the number reasonable.

10 is too much, 4 is the right number for me. People hate to have too many options.

I good rule is to add a social network button only after some visitors came from that network without having the button.

I like this approach. If user is from google+ then ask him to like FB or Tweet. If he's from facebook, ask him to +1 on g+, tweet and others.
