Build A Custom Search Engine Using Your Social Bookmarks
Last week, Yahoo finally unveiled the long-awaited new version of the social bookmarking site Delicious. Along with the new URL, simply delicious.com, the site got a revamped UI and added new features like selectable detail levels and alphabetical sorting of bookmarks. However, amid the delighted oohs and ahhs from the tech community over the new-and-improved site, some people were raising the valid question: "Who bookmarks anymore?" Besides bookmarking for the sake of making sure a site gets seen in your FriendFeed stream, the truth is that many people bookmark, but then turn to Google search when they actually want to find something.
Delicious Finally Launches Version 2.0: Easier, Prettier, Faster
The popular social bookmarking service Del.icio.us launched a complete redesign of its service today. Ever since it was bought by Yahoo in 2005, the company added very few new features and the redesign had been rumored to be in the works for almost a year now. The new design and features are mostly focused on enhancing the speed of the service and improving its search capabilities. Del.icio.us can also now be reached at delicious.com and will start using this as its standard URL.
Browzmi: A Social Browser in Your Browser
Social bookmarking has become a pretty standard activity these days, with the likes of Mento, Delicious, Mister Wong, Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon offering numerous variations on this theme. Browzmi is taking a different approach from these services by focusing on real-time, collaborative web browsing and bookmarking, with chat being one of its main features. What is especially noteworthy is that Browzmi is not an extension, but basically a browser in a browser.
Browzmi was founded by Travis Parsons in 2006 and is currently being developed by a five person team. Browzmi has not taken any venture funding yet. Registration for Browzmi is open.
Evernote Opens to All: Fantastic Promise, Disappointing Execution
The highly anticipated "memory augmentation" service Evernote opens to the public Tuesday and you'll probably want to check this service out just to see what it tries to do. We may change our minds after more lengthy testing, but so far this combination of a bookmarking, note taking and photo cataloging service with apps for the desktop, web and mobile - not to mention the Optical Character Recognition powered search - adds up to a whole lot of potential ... and frustration.
Semantic Tagging with Faviki
Faviki is a new social bookmarking tool that offers something that services like Ma.gnolia, del.icio.us, and Diigo do not - semantic tagging capabilities. What this means is that instead of having users haphazardly entering in tags to describe the links they save, Faviki will suggest tags to be used instead. However, unlike other services, Faviki's suggestions don't just come from a community of users and their tagging history, but from structured information extracted straight out of the Wikipedia database.
Dynamic Bookmarking Service Iterasi Launches Public Beta
The new browser-bookmarking service, iterasi, which we covered back in February of this year, has just launched their public beta today. This service is meant to complement, not compete with, today's standard lot of bookmarking tools, like del.ici.ous, ma.gnolia, and diigo, as iterasi doesn't simply save a URL, but instead provides you with a way to bookmark the "dynamic web."
Still No Invite to FFFFOUND? Try We Heart It Instead
If you don't want to go through the whole process of creating a tumblr blog just to save and share interesting photos and videos you find on the web, then you may be interested in the new social bookmarking tool from We Heart It instead. We Heart It is very similar to another photo sharing and bookmarking service - FFFFOUND - right down to the heart-shaped favicon - but unlike FFFFOUND, you don't need an invitation to join.
Twine Disappoints After Semantic Web Hype
Twine is the most hyped semantic app of the season and recently opened up for some press previews. General availability of this smart, social bookmarking and research tool may come in a matter of weeks.
If that's the case, it will probably be too soon. Twine has some major shortcomings that I think are going to drastically hinder the service's adoption. Perhaps unsurprisingly, those shortcomings come down to usability and performance. Hopefully these problems will be resolved, but it isn't going to be easy.
AdaptiveBlue Rolls Up More Services into Simpler Interface
Semantic web browser extension BlueOrganizer relaunched tonight with more of the most popular services on the web smartly integrated into an easier to use interface.
The company says its extension is intended to let users browse the web with context and that its semantic technology cuts steps out of search. The basic idea behind AdaptiveBlue's BlueOrganizer is that it can tell what the web pages you're looking at are about and it offers you useful links based on the particular subject matter.
Dynamic Bookmarking with Iterasi
Iterasi is a new browser-based tool for saving web pages. Unlike other
bookmarking services, which simply save a link to a page's location, Iterasi
captures the content of a page as it appears at that particular moment in time
and saves it in an accessible HTML format with just one click. This kind of
bookmarking is best for dynamic web pages that could change over time. Movable Type search results powered by Fast Search
