Social bookmarking

Robin Good wrote a mini-guide to social bookmarking, addressing underlying issues and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of some main social bookmarking services: del.icio.us, Stumble Upon, Blue Dot, Ma.gnolia, Digg, Simpy, BlogMarks, Reddit, Furl, BlinkList, Spurl, de.lirio.us, Linkroll, Shadows en Yahoo-MyWeb.

As we are moving towards a semantic web, with more dynamic, user-generated content, social bookmarking is a valuable tool to structure that apparent chaos. The main weakness is that the wisdom of the crowds is not always the truth (but often close enough).
