I will keep that sheet updated as I make changes, delete sites I'm not planning to review, etc. I'll try to have a link to the site on each blog post I write related to this subject.
More tools that can help you in this Social Media Jungle...
First a note, bookmarking sites are designed not only to offer you a place to store bookmarks but many of them offer the ability to share them as well. The advantages over you browser are cloud storage of bookmarks which lets you access them from anywhere instead of one PC and the ability to share or discuss said bookmark. This is an opportunity for online activity. A properly built profile with almost any of the sites should help your SEO.
Something else to remember, you may consider using these sites to promote yourself as an expert in your field. Bookmark sites with information related to your profession, start and join in discussions around related to your profession. The more online activity you are involved in related to your field, the stronger your presence as an expert.
Due to the large number of Social Bookmarking sites, I have decided to keep my review to a minimum. If the site is on this list, it can be accessed from the US. I may or may not build a profile on the site. If I say the site runs slow, remember I am using Google Chrome browser (not Internet Explorer, although Ver9 is nice) and Windows 7.
A1-Webmarks - http://www.a1-webmarks.com/Pure bookmarking. Simple webpage, lots of text, little graphics. Lets you add comments to your bookmarks.
Add.io - http://add.io/Appears to run slow. Encountered a few error messages. Appealing visually, nice graphics. Looks like it could be a really good option if it weren't slow and gave me errors. Again, I'm not spending a lot of time with any one site.
All My Faves - http://www.allmyfaves.com/Uses the (bookmarked) sites icon, nice visual. create your own "faves" pages.
Pure text, very few graphics. Appears to follow a minimalist design.
Quite a few adds. Colorful.
Looks more like a landing page than other sites. Very visual, large graphics.
Appears to be a VERY social site. Lots of "Follow me" links to the left. Ranking of bookmarks so there is interaction with other members. This looks like something you could promote yourself with.
College specific, looks like a centralized resource for college students.
Runs slow. Lots of text, graphics did not load.
Lots of text, allows sharing of bookmarks.
So, that takes me through the letter "C" in my list. I deleted quite a few from the original list because they either didn't look useful, were down or were in a language other than English. No offense intended, I only review sites in English (it's a downfall of mine, I only speak/read English. Always meant to pick up a second or third language but never got around to it.)
Please leave feedback in the comments. Are you using any of these sites? Want me to offer specific details in my reviews? Hate what I'm doing but read my blog anyway just to laugh at me? The comment section belongs to you, offer any and all feedback you have.
