Blogging about Social Bookmarking

Del.icio.us changed it's primary web presence to delicious.com so I totally stopped going. Del.icio.us is great if your friends use it and if you want to collaborate about something. Say you have a weekly coffee group and you want to communicate about possible topics or relevant news delicious is the best tool I've seen to to allow for such collaboration.

Like other social tools if your friends aren't on it then it's just not useful. This is web 2.0 in a nutshell. I'm available on del.icio.us here: http://delicious.com/kodemage

Another social bookmarking site is Stumbleupon, and it is one of the greatest applications/sites/communities ever. I first found it looking through the add-ons for the Firefox browser back when it was in 1.0 status. The idea is great, you tell the service what kind of things you're interested in and you make some friends and you hit the stumble button. It then serves you a random page which you can mark up or down and it learns from your choices and groups you together with other users with similar preference and similar likes and dislikes and serves you more pages each time you hit the stumble button. Of course it keeps a list of every page it's ever served you and you can go back and look up pages you want to see again. Aside from reddit and digg it's the best way to find new and interesting interwebs content.

You cna find my stumbles on facebook or at stumbleupon.
