Tag you’re it – social bookmarking
Posted by sandnsurf on September 2008
So you are having fun – the world of pixels is opening up and your exploratory mind is working overtime with the abundance of new search engines growing everyday. But how to manage this dearth of information?
Up till now you have been satisfied with the bookmarking feature of your browser (ctrl + d), the static nature of its confines and the unwieldy nature therein. I beg you to contemplate expanding your collating framework and endure the malleable mind of a pragmatist.
We have already spoken about Firefox, the Bookmarking features of browsers and the ability to collate blogs and newsfeeds through RSS feeds. Now I want to discuss some simple and free tagging systems to enhance the functionality of your bookmarking, saving, sharing and reference collating.
Having trialled an extensive number of bookmarking/site-sharing services I would like to share (with some comparative analysis) the final groups of services I now utilize to structure and relate my browsing experiences. I will expand on these in the next series of blogs.

For a digg-style site with an Australian flavour, have a look at kwoff. As I discussed in a recent blog post, it’s still early days, but it shows a lot of potential for sharing Australian news stories and sites.
