"reviews almost all of them" with bullet-pointed What Sets Apart
-Del.ici.ous is perhaps the most well known and heavily subscribed social bookmarking service, its browser-embedded tagging button is much imitated
-Simpy offers ability to search within bookmarked pages text (rather than just metadata) and has great range of widgets for bloggers
-Ma.gnolia has an impressive feature set and very nice design that will appeal to the visually orientated. perhaps the most attractively designed of the social bookmarking services. a nice feature that saves web pages so that they will always be accessible even if the site expires.
-Furl offers "your personal web file" by archiving web pages, along with searchable notes. allows you to take clippings of a page when you save it.
-Shadows adds interesting dimension, the shadow page, which can be accessed by anyone using the Shadows toolbar with the click of a button, and serves as a kind of back channel for a web page, so that shadows users can see a collection of metadata and users thoughts on comments on any given page on the web. so that totally appeals to me but I think the bit I explored this there was very little on shadow page for sites I was int in. so, gave me less than stumbleupon's review page. (How is it different?)
-Stumbleupon lets you read reviews and comments on the page you are visiting by clicking a speech bubble icon
also re:
blue dot, spurl (currently limited bcs of spam), yahoomyweb, digg, reddit
-Reddit is a news sharing focused site, not entirely dissimilar to it's more popular sibling Digg. Like Digg, users submit their bookmarked content via the site rather than using a bookmarklet
and..
-Linkroll - unremarkable ~ (nothing esp new, but maybe nice combination features found elsewhere)
-Blogmarks puts its focus on easily integrating your bookmarks with your blog via 'a 'BlogSync'' interface.
-Blinklist targets teachers
-De.lirio.us is very like dlcs and supports most of the del.icio.us API, but is based on an open-source project licensed under the GNU General Public License.

comment from John Tropea*:
Great post, although you missed some beauties:
Clipmarks - not just link marking, but clipping, and each item has a permalink so it's a true link blog, and not a link log. huh? oh I see, meaning the content is saved, not just the link. Plus they are heavy into comment streams. good, where are those?
Netvouz - folders and tags, I really wish del.icio.us enabled folders or channels..actually clipmarks also has folders
Raw Sugar - automated tag relations, search for your blog, etc...
"RawSugar updates its tag-based search and beats the BigCo's... This engine has come a long way ... take a look at a search for "Scobleizer" on RawSugar. Look down the left side. Notice the categorization? I think that's awesome!"- Robert Scoble, scobelizer
Diigo - clipping and annotating:
About The name "Diigo" is an abbreviation for "Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other stuff." Diigo (dee'go) is about "Social Annotation"...social bookmarking, clippings, in situ annotation, tagging, full-text search... The social annotation service introduced by Diigo allows users to add highlights and sticky notes, in situ, on any web page they read. Imagine a giant transparency overlaying on top of all the web pages. Users can write on the transparency as they wish, as private notes or public comments. And they can read public comments on the transparency left by other readers of the same page, and hear their "two cents" and interact with them.
Trailblazer - hyperlinked annotated links [reply to John from post author: I was reticent to add Trailblazer, as there is possibly a whole new guide waiting to be written on website annotations/tours, but in retrospect, it is a great tool with very close ties to social bookmarking so should probably have made it through.]
Connotea & CiteULike - auto discover metadata, focused on journals and research
[comment fr someone else: There's interesting action happening in the social bookmarking arena for the enterprise too--the two leaders appear to be ConnectBeam and Cogenz.] "enterprise bookmarking – social bookmarking and tagging for organizations and professionals"
tagtooga, markaboo, searchles, butterfly, swarm, foundd, fungow, plum, taggly Sheesh!

* Library clips :: About.. :: February :: 2005: This blog is a space for me to share some ideas, thoughts, and feedback…from a librarian’s point of view. Like most people I’m interested in blogs, rss, social bookmarks, wiki’s, etc. My special interest is in current awareness tools (alert services, monitoring, clipping, newsmastering), also in following blog conversations…

nb - pandia.com» Top 5 social bookmarking services: Furl and Ma.gnolia are the only bookmarking services I have come across that save a copy of the web pages you bookmark.her other favorites are Del.icio.us and Netvouz in which can view and sort your bookmarks by rating, date or name. more sorting (esp by date) wld be nice on dlcs. and better search. Netvouz is the only bookmarking service that lets you place groups of tags in folders that are displayed high up on the page.and also fifth, Blue Dot, "the bookmarking tool for the MySpace crowd" and where she'd like an option to view more than 10 dots per screen and complains about the two prominent Google Ads banners on each page. yep, I agree.
