When I was looking over my news feeds yesterday morning, I though I had spied some exciting news. A few sites were reporting about a new Delicious extension for Chrome. Some of them trumpeted its arrival as proof that Chrome extensions were real. I found that statement a little odd, because AdSweep has been around since early April. Didn't that pretty much prove the "reality" of Chrome ...

There are plenty of web services out there that let you share across multiple networks, but Smub.it is taking a different, more mobile approach. By using a bookmarklet, or typing http://smub.it in front of any URL, you can share on Facebook, Digg, Delicious, Reddit, Twitter and more, from both desktop and mobile browsers. Smub.it practically begs be used on the iPhone, but other phones shouldn't ...

I'm a big fan of applications that take handles repetitive chores without any input from me whatsoever. Since I've been using Tweetdeck lately, sharing links on Twitter and bookmarking them has turned into a two-step process, and that's one step too many if you ask me. Enter Tweecious, a Firefox addon that keeps an eye on your Twitter feed for any links you share and automatically adds them to ...

There are plenty of "read it later" options around - like Read It Later, for example. ListMixer provides another way to create non-permanent bookmark lists in any browser (leave a mix unatteded for 30 days, and it's automatically deleted). Add the ListMixer bookmarklet to your browser, click it once, and your unique ID is created. There's no registration required to start adding links. Once your ...

Newsified is a simple, but brilliant, idea. Take your favorite social news sites, the ones you normally read on the web or through RSS, and lay them out like ... a newspaper. It's an old-school approach that actually proves really useful when it comes to deep sites like Metafilter and Digg. You only see a small percentage of the popular content on the front pages of these sites, but Newsified ...

![Twine reaches 1.0, opens to public]()
Twine Overview from Twine Official on Vimeo

After expanding the private beta back in March, the Twine team has spent the last eight months really working on site usability, interface and performance. Today, Twine 1.0 is officially out of beta and open to the public.
I had a chance to talk to ...

Yesterday, social bookmarkng site Delicious (nee del.icio.us) launched a brand new design and a much easier to remember URL. The redesign is quite similar to the preview posted last September, Nothing like waiting until your share holders stage a revolt to get your properties updated, eh Yahoo? The new design is fluid and clean, with a much nicer display system. It's much easier to switch ...

Cocoalicious is a really slick -- but, unfortunately, Mac-only -- dedicated browser for your Del.icio.us bookmarks. If you're a bookmarking junkie, and you have way more sites saved to Del.icio.us than you could ever hope to keep track of, this could be an ideal solution for you. It's laid out a bit like Apple Mail, with your tags running down the left side, your bookmarks on top, and a browser ...

inSuggest for bookmarks is the latest way to get more out of your del.icio.us account. For those not familiar, del.icio.us (now owned by Yahoo!) is a thoroughly handy little site that lets you quickly save, tag and share bookmarks. It's a great service, but it would be an even bigger deal if there were a way to find other bookmarks you might want to see based on the ones you're feeding in. ...

Hot on the heels of the del.icio.us beta plugin for Firefox 3 beta, Yahoo! has released a beta plugin for Internet Explorer. While Firefox is pretty popular these days, we're pretty sure there are still more people using the IE6 or IE7 browser that came with their computer than a beta version of the open source Firefox browser. Which is to say, seriously, Yahoo! is just now getting around to ...

One of the nice things about modern desktop browsers is that there are tons of third party add-ons. These plugins let you do everything from change the way web pages look to making it easy to save web pages to social bookmarking services like del.icio.us. Mobile web browsers haven't gotten nearly as much love from third party developers. That's why we're excited to see that Dale Lane has written ...

You might be able to check your browser history or use a bookmarking tool. But what if you want to share your browsing records and let other users see where you've been? Hooeey lets you record eveyr site you visit. You need a hooey ...

New social bookmarking site SugarLoving is a great example of an excellent idea that's terribly executed. The idea is that women will use the site to share stories they think will be of interest to other women. Instead of being well-rounded and smartly put together, though, it screams OMG!! Ponies!!1!!!
Here's what SugarLoving does right: the site clearly understands that sites like Digg and ...
