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 [...]

Now we hear the news that Yahoo Mash will be closed some time today. It has been announced by Yahoo! in an email all the users of the social network have received. In the email Yahoo! Team thanks everyone for participating in the beta test of the social network and invites to copy all the content we may want to keep to a separate document. I don’t have any content over there anyway and I don’t really think many users [...]

Today at the Gnomedex conference in Seattle creators of one of the most popular social bookmarking services Ma.gnolia (but definitely far behind Delicious) have announced that they have decided to make the code behind the service open-source and rely on the developers community for further updates and growth of Ma.gnolia.
What’s more, being open-sources for Ma.gnolia means that any webmaster or any company will be able to take the code, customize it and install it as a part of other existing [...]

Jay Meattle's FireFox Add On Shareaholic has become one of my favorite and most often used browser tools in record time. It works in FireFox 3 . It works with Flock 2.0. It just… works. It makes sharing among all of my sites (Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us, FaceBook, etc.) a breeze.
In fact it makes it so much of a breeze I actually had trouble focusing on writing my article about it. I kept trying out the different options for sharing [...]

Yahoo is turning out to be the Hillary Clinton of the web these days: running a campaign to save itself that is on its last legs and refusing to stand down and let the more stable web candidates win. It doesn't help matters that it is being pursued in the most schizophrenic manner possible by Microsoft, or that its own shareholders have long since had it with the shenanigans on both sides.
It is hard not to grow increasingly bored [...]

Marshall Kirkpatrick's Twine review initially set off my post asking what the perception is of an application's status. It also set off a flurry of buzz about Twine, the private beta from the team at Radar Networks.
I took advantage of our outage yesterday to really spend time poking around in Twine, which defines itself as a semantic web application. I always approach anything that claims it can learn anything about me and provide a true semantic experience, but I'm so [...]

I want to love Socialthing. Really, truly I do. I am not the world's biggest FriendFeed fan even though it seems everyone has already sworn allegiance to it judging by the number of times I see it added on my Facebook news feed. But FriendFeed is ugly. And I'm tired of having to find and add people everywhere I go. So imagine my glee when I opened my email this morning to find my Socialthing invite.
Socialthing is yet another entry [...]

Watching the Yahoo layoffs on Tuesday as news of who was out hit Twitter and blogs was depressing, to say the least. But the biggest surprise, at least for me, was what appeared to be a decimation of Brickhouse, with Bradley Horowitz, head of Yahoo's Advanced Technology Division leaving for Google, and Salim Ismail, head of Brickhouse, either getting the axe or leaving of his own accord depending on which news source you read.
Obviously, I have no secret window into [...]

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 [...]
