Favo: A New Hot Bookmark Manager for 2009?

Microsoft Labs today released Thumbtack, a new bookmarking application with a very slick user interface that represents an interesting take on bookmarking and saving online information, though it often falls short on delivering some of the basics that we have come to expect from online bookmarking services.

Thumbtack supports both IE7 and Firefox, though Firefox users miss out an a few interesting features.
InSuggest: Del.icio.us Recommendations Reborn

The troubled in-house recommendation feature at Del.icio.us hasn't been replaced and 3rd party services have had a very hard time meeting the scaling challenge.
