Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
What's your favorite online bookmarking service, and why? - Ask DLS
Social bookmarking has taken off in a huge way, and nowadays we have more options than you can shake a mouse at. My personal favorite is del.icio.us, not simply because it was the first (or one of?), but more because of all the tools that hook in and provide access to my bookmarks. Delibar is a great Mac OS X utility that provides access from the menubar, and we also found Deliwin that provides the same functionality for all y'all rolling with Windows. But for me, the killer feature is being able to call my bookmarks from the beauty of Quicksilver, my die-without-it, Mac OS X swiss army knife of an app launcher and file manipulator.But enough about me - what say you, DLS readers? Did you leave del.icio.us in the dust months ago? Perhaps you prefer the more community-focused Ma.gnolia, or any of the other zillions of options that have arisen. Tell us what your favorite online bookmarking service is, and why, and we'll tally the results on Monday.

I use www.Spurl.net - and love it.
It has more feautures than del.icio.us and if you dont feel like leaving del.icio.us just yet Spurl.net allow you to synchronize your del.icio.us-links.
Unfortunately Spurl.net is currently down for maintenance due to massive spam-attacks.
But check it out

http://clipmarks.com - combines a great tool for saving not just the url but that part of the site that made you want to save it and an articulate, respectful community.

Definitely http://clipmarks.com , which renders the concept of bookmarks itself utterly useless. There's no going back from clip- to bookmarks.

Del.Icio.US is still my favorite one - and that having in mind that I am constantly trying out new ones.

I use Furl (http://furl.net). Besides saving your pages as bookmarks, it also caches the page in their server so that you can access it even if the site goes down. I've found this function especially useful
And furl is pretty fast too, unlike del.icio.us which has a bookmarklet that takes eons to load on dial-up

del.icio.us for life!

I've started using http://www.ratepoint.com. It's pretty simple to use and has a stronger focus on the social part of the bookmarking.

I use del.icio.us, for its simple operation, uberintegration with everywhere, and the fact that I can hack custom javascript bookmarlets to autotag my saved entries on the fly. del.icio.us is one of my daily activities.

Delicious is not social bookmarking, it's online bookmarking. Ma.gnolia is social bookmarking. I use it every day.

There is nothing better than Clipmarks. I have accounts at blinklist, magnolia, digg, delicious... I don't use them anymore since I installed the clipmarks extension.
The concept of "clipping pieces of the website", not just a saving a link with a discription is the best out there. You can even clip from different sources in one clip.
Just try it and you will see!

Blinklist. No other way for me.
