Give LookLater a try. All bookmarks are private but you can tag any bookmark to Simpy, del.icio.us, Blinklist or any other social bookmarking site with one click.

T: Thanks for chiming in and adding some additional points on how to improve the navigation. Also thanks for pointing out the “social aspect” as one of our key strenghts.

In addition to the “social aspect” I would also highlight “starring” of links and tags as a key advantage so that users can quickly navigate to their bookmarks via the quick start page and via their favorite tags.

Overall, I am just very thankful that you took the time to check out our site and that you took the time to share all of your excellent feedback and ideas! Hopefully will be able to make BlinkList better and better and eventually win you as a key member of our community. Given all your great ideas, we could sure use your help. ;) Mike

As for social bookmarks overview – check out some studies I published at http://blog.simpy.com/blojsom/blog/2005/11/07/Web-2-0-Tagging-Study-Summary.html and feel free to ask questions about Simpy, social bookmarks, tagging, or search for your overview.

Thank you very much for your comments.

Otis: after reading some techcrunch I realized how many bookmarking services are out there and now the nightmare scenario is coming to life: being asked to try each one of them:)

Seriously, I will try to take a look if I have some spare time. In general, though, in the nearest future I will prefer to take a bit more high level view of this bookmarking industry. There are some questions that seem interesting and I already sort of started.

Tyrantmizar: I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who ran into these navigational difficulties.

I’m totally with you when you say Blinklist’s strengths are linked to its social features. That’s why I wrote that I still look forward to learning more about them.

The point that I was trying to make is that interface creates kind of initial barrier which makes it harder to get to those features.

I’m sure the Blinklist crew will aim to make it easier for us, though.

Thanks also for the tips,

Best Regards,

Doing something as simple as going from the tab “tech” to “tech+web2.0″ (which is a simple link in del.icio.us) requires a search for such.

When you’re is logged in, and you’re viewing someone else’s BlinkList, clicking on that user’s name brings you back to your list, not the root level of theirs.

I’ve already complained about the search engine.

I do think you’re not giving BlinkList quite the credit it deserves. One of its main strengths is the ease of the Friends system. Once you find someone’s bookmarks you like, you can easily make them your friend (click the face!)

From your BlinkList, you can easily view your ‘Friends’ and ‘Fans,’ people you’re watching, and people who are watching you. This can lead to vast chains of friendship networks. For example, many people have named Mike as their friend.

From the home page you can find out what your friends have bookmarked recently, and from your page, you can easily show a comparison of you and your friends/fans.

Oh, and by the way:
“Recent” is what new tags you’ve created recently. “Most Recent” are the individual bookmarks.

You can always go to the home page by clicking the “BlinkList” logo at the top left.

And if you feel kind enough to let the world see your del.icio.us bookmarks, go to “Option” at the top right, and click “Make all links public.”

Try out the other tabs around ‘Recent’ I doubt many people view that tab much. More likely “My Cloud” and “Popular,” which are far more useful.

Sorry if this seems random…
