Social bookmarking has only come to be utilized to a large degree in recent years. The first service to really popularize the practice is often thought to be Del.icio.us. Regardless of which came first, who copied whom, and what really constitutes a social bookmarking service, it?s occasionally a topic of interest what site stands where on the list of the largest. For those who wish to know, eBizMBA has laid out a tally of the top 20.
It probably comes [...]

Uvouch, one of the Web's most unique video sharing sites is starting a contest today, and launching several unique user features as well. Contestants stand a chance to win a Nintendo Wii Sports console and other cool prizes. Uvouch has also added even more functionality since our last visit with customization and embedding tools not found on even the most advanced video sharing communities. The Wii contest is a welcome incentive to attract even more feedback from users and in rewarding users [...]

When I was taking Peepel for a drive, CEO Stephen Kelly was kind enough to give me an invite to the private beta of Particls (called Touchstone) at the time, an application that was promising to revolutionize the way you read news feeds. I'll be honest; I was a bit skeptical. I've downloaded and subsequently removed more apps in the past year than my hard drive likes to think about. I've been using Particls now for a little over a [...]

Spotback is another startup that will be profiled at the upcoming Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco April 15 - 18. Spotback asked us to review their innovative service, so here are the high and low points of my visit there.
This service is designed to help users to personalize their content via recommendations based on relevant content aggregation. Embedding of the Spotback widget onto a website allows members or visitors to rate your content. Once content is rated Spotback automatically suggests [...]

I got clued to a pretty cool gadget called iStalkr last night, so this morning I thought our readers should have the look at this new startup. The site is a feed aggregator in Beta testing that is supposed to stalk others obviously. I don't want to be too hard on the "spanking" new tool but it is pretty stark at the moment even by the developer's standards.
iStalkr is intended to be a livestream RSS and ATOM feed tracking device that creates a [...]

Web 2.0 is nearly out of new ways to bookmark and tag sites, so where would a company wanting to innovate in that area go? According to StartupSquad, they'd head to the virtual world of Second Life .
Sloog is a social bookmarking app that allows you to tag favorite places in Second Life, share them with the rest of the Sloog community, and easily access your favorite places in a tagged organizational schema that makes sense to you.
The application [...]

We reported on AdaptiveBlue and their BlueOrganizer Firefox extension back in quarter four of ’06. We’re happy to announce the release of the company’s first major revision since. There’s been some consolidation, the team behind the effort has provided a more streamlined interface, and many big and minor additions to things in the BlueMenu and aspects like BlueMarking have been made. You may or may not notice these changes, depending on how you took to BlueOrganizer in the last few months. [...]

We reported previously on Yahoo! Pipes, a new product released by the Internet giant last week. It received so much attention in its first few hours of release that it cowed under from the weight of millions of queries made from around the globe. It’s a good sign - at least for Yahoo! - to be in the thick of tech news again. But it’s not good news for its industrial strength to remain in question. Nonetheless, today we take [...]
