Last week Alex Iskold wrote an interesting post comparing various bookmarking sites. This is something I have been looking for a while because it would allow me to make a better decision as to what bookmarks to include below each post. Alex’s study compared 9 sites: Blinklist, Blogmarks, Del.icio.us, Diigo, Furl, Ma.gnolia, Shadows, Simpy and Stumble upon.
“The social bookmarking market is dominated by del.icio.us and StumbleUpon. These leaders split the market, as they bring orthogonal approaches to bookmarking – del.icio.us builds a hierarchy for people to browse (it does related relationships, etc.), while StumbleUpon is more of a random discovery system.”
A few things I would like to see added to this test include things like: A ranking system based on the results, DIGG, the use of API data where ever possible (i.e.: Del.icio.us) and maybe some type of rating system for the features lists.
I would also love to see a similar test done for Feed Readers: Google, My Yahoo, MSN, News Gator, etc…
Manoj,
Thanks for mentioning my post. Other faceoffs, including RSS readers are coming up.
Personally, I use Flock and its built in reader.
