  The Social Bookmarking Faceoff 

  http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/social_bookmarking_faceoff.php

  Written by Alex Iskold and edited by Richard MacManus. The social bookmarking market is in a steady state with two dominant players - del.icio.us and StumbleUpon . The rest of the pack, including Yahoo ... MyWeb, appears to be substantially behind. Will they catch up? In this post we attempt to answer that question. We also take a look at how social bookmarking has evolved since del.icio.us. (even del.icio.us itself has evolved a lot!). We compare the features and approaches of the different companies, to see which has gained popularity and what has become the norm in this space. A short history of social bookmarking The current social web era started with del.icio.us and the advent of social bookmarking.

With the introduction of new social software applications such as blogs, wikis, newsfeeds, social networks, and bookmarking tools (the subject of this paper), the claim that Shelley Powers makes in a Burningbird blog entry [ 1 ] seems apposite: " This is the user's web now, which means it's my web and I can make the rules. " Reinvention is revolution it brings us always back to beginnings. We are here going to remind you of hyperlinks in all their glory, sell you on the idea of bookmarking hyperlinks, point you at other folks who are doing the same, and tell you why this is a good thing. Just as long as those hyperlinks (or let's call them plain old links) are managed, tagged, commented upon, and published onto the Web, they represent a   [More...] [Less...]

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking
