Update: This is pretty out of date in 2008! More of a historical look at some of the sites at this point.
When it's easy, and it works, users love it. We all follow, save and sometimes share links from around the web to interesting news, videos and other websites. If someone could find everything we want without our having to search for it, and put it on one page, we'd use that page.
This is what the social bookmarking and personalized news sites are trying to do for us. Does it work? It depends on how hard you work at it.
My take is that this is the future of of how a lot of people get their content, but it needs to be made simpler, while providing useful results sooner. See also:

There are a lot of sites, and it seems more every month. Here's what I've found so far. While I welcome additions, I can't promise I can keep this up to date on a daily basis. Here's nearly 200 I've found so far:

Very interesting comment about social bookmarking and tagging services.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how a personal and individual resource little by little is becoming a seed for social networks.
As any other social network the way it is built and controlled can lead the whole network to a free site or a biased one.
Congratulations for the blog
Very nice article!
ReplyDeleteTo make the list of bookmarkstools complete with a combination of Digg and thumbs: http://www.maxtags.com
You forgot about Arkayne.com. Unlike others, there is no signup, you embedd 3 lines of javascript. Also main difference is jumping directly to related content vs. going through middle man pages. Truly a networking widget.
