Is there any point in building backlinks on Social Bookmarking sites?

Is there any point in building backlinks on Social Bookmarking sites? Should we do it?Google has clearly said in its *Link Schemes* document that they don`t want us creating backlinks on cheap directory & bookmarking sites. Don`t get me wrong I know there are selected few good bookmarking sites like Pinterest, Reddit, Mix & Scoopit I mentioned these sites because visitors (NOT SEOs) actually visits these site where you bookmark (potentially a content) can be discovered by them, they may click and be satisfied having discovered your content. So finally my question is should we do this aggressively?
