So, what’s the big deal? Looking at the screenshot, it looks almost identical to Bloglines (sans the frames). Or are we working with something else here? Perhaps some kind of mix between Bloglines and Delicious? Anyone know?
I’m the creator of Socialmarks, so for one, thanks for the publicity :)
Second, I wouldn’t call it only a combination of del.icio.us and Bloglines. There’s quite a few differences (let alone other features, like trend reporting on specified keywords/tags, etc.). First and most importantly, Socialmarks is *totally* built around tags. Bookmarks can be tagged, content feeds can be tagged, posts from a content feed can be tagged, trend reports can be saved and tagged .. you get the idea :)
Anyway, I don’t want to make this into an advertisement .. but again, thank you for your comments regarding Socialmarks :) We’ll be sending out beta invites fairly soon.
Sounds neat. Will there be an easy way to integrate Socialmarks with del.icio.us, or do you plan on trying to (partly) replace del.icio.us, or just kind of ignore it altogether?
I’m not really sure what we’re going to do about this issue, or even if it would work well. We’re different from del.icio.us in the tagging method we use. We have support for both multiple-word tags (and yes, they’re normalized into one word for searching, but there would still obviously be differences in naming structures), as well as support for tagging in a drilldown (hierarchy-type) style.
No, but that’s a good way to advertise hicksdesign, 456 Berea Street, and ALA…

Yeah, I’ve gotten 6 referrals from them.
