Normally people use social bookmarking services like Delicious or Ma.gnolia to bookmark pages that they find interesting and to demonstrate their support to website owners by acknowledging that they find their content useful.
People also import their bookmarks from browsers to social bookmarking sites to keep them as a backup which can be useful if something unexpected happens to your browser. But there are some pages bookmarked that are simply beyond my understanding. Like when you want to do a search [...]

Launching today at DEMO 2008, Iterasi promises to revolutionize social bookmarking for the Web 2.0 world. While sites like del.icio.us and Ma.gnolia allow you to share bookmarks, one of the problems with sharing static URL links is that much of the content of AJAX applications is absent when you return to the site.
Iterasi will launch as a private beta within 30 days with a plug-in for IE 7 and Firefox for Windows, with a Mac version following soon after. I [...]

CrowdFound has tossed its hat in the ring of sites offering user found content. Its “twist” is adding in a social network and social bookmark aspect that allows you to find users that like similar content, as well as find content that you may not have heard of before that users similar to you like.
Like other similar sites, you can use an “add a link” type page located on the site itself to manually enter the URL of sites you [...]

Tossing its hat into the social bookmark ring is NetVouz.   NetVouz is competing with nearly one hundred already existing social bookmakring sites, including del.icio.us, Furl , Reddit and StumbleUpon.  In fact, there are so many sites that offer social bookmarking services we have several articles on the topic here at Profy.
Each of these social bookmarking sites tries to set itself apart by offering a unique twist or feature. For example, Digg has made its name by combining a social bookmarking feature [...]

Users of the popular Google Maps service now have unique identities and can interact with other users with the addition of user profiles, a feature that was launched by Google yesterday.
Previously, the only interactivity users had on the service was through business reviews and the creation of personalized maps (although they were private and could not be shared with others).
Now, each user is provided with a profile, which is essentially a collection of each person's activity on the mapping service. [...]

Considering how popular that social bookmarking has become and the fact that Google is the most used search engine, a social bookmarking site for the search giant seems far overdue. Google has already been offering a bookmark service, but saved bookmarks were stored privately in user's accounts, which left the social aspect lacking.
Perhaps Google is going along with the saying 'better late than never' as it has now launched Shared Stuff (creative name, huh?), which seems like a [...]

The massive popularity of the top social networks (Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, etc.) has led to more social networks on the web than most people even know about.
Although there is no "openness" between social networks as of now, DigFoot is out to at least keep track of all those social networks with a categorized directory.
DigFoot even has its own social aspects that allows users to rate and review networks so that other users can best pick what social networks they would [...]

You may already know from my previous post that I am a big fan of Mister Wong, the already popular in Europe social bookmarking service that has just been out of public beta in English language. If you want to know my opinion, Mister Wong definitely has a chance to get at least some of del.icio.us users away and keep them - for long. When you browse various bookmarks and groups on Mister Wong, you really feel it is populated [...]

CoReap is a new service that combines social bookmarking, social searching and a social network. It allows users to manage their bookmarks and their network directly from the sidebar of the browser for complete ease of use.
What is innovative about CoReap is the way that it seamlessly integrates with existing search platforms such as Google and Yahoo!. With CoReap, you can actually search for new bookmarks by creating a social network of trusted individuals based on your interests. Those [...]
