thread_title:  How about an up to date list of Social Bookmark sites? 

message: I don't really think Digg/reddit/Netscape/Pligg etc are "social bookmarking" and are instead "social news". However, for a while after Digg's origin, the explanation on the right hand side of the page claimed to be social bookmarking, and so some people still refer to it in that way. To me, "bookmarks" implies that the user can save whatever they like and social news sites can punish users for sharing things they don't find appropriate, etc. This is definitely not the use I had in mind when I called added "social bookmarking" as a byline on del.icio.us (and I believe thus coining the term.) Perhaps someone could clean up the entry to reflect this? JoshuaSchachter 08:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Social Bookmarking vs Social News 

message: Can we get a clarification about what is and isn't appropriate in the "Some social bookmarking services" section of this article?  The section had included a long and useful list of services, which was removed, then some of them were put back in.  Is the right thing to create freestanding articles about each of the services, then link to those articles?  Thanks.  Prentiss Riddle
: IMHO that tools list should be put back - this article is about the websites themselves. If there is a seemingly useful NPOV article like digg it should be linked instead, but stuff like BlinkList and Furl clutter Wikipedia much more than an external link here. (and are much more prone to POV problems). Red links are even more annoying.
:However, it might be better to create a page like List of online bookmarking websites and put the links there. Categories like "General-purpose", "Academic", etc... should also help. As for link spamming - it's still happenning... Eug 23:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  What should go in the list of services? 

message: In the external links:
*PopUrls.com and TheWebList.net aggregate the top social bookmarking services. 
Someone User:86.56.236.146 changed this to:
*PopUrls.com aggregates the top social bookmarking services. 
Why?  Having some healthy competiton and giving users some alternatives is bad?
See:  What Thomas Marban (creator of Popurls) had to say about TheWebList.

message: Could we maybe have a brief overview of what the main actors are on this market and what their specificities are, please?
That would help, and never mind if we get a couple too many, that's better than too few. Jules.LT 16:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs examples, not just comments about the idea of it 

message: Dear Author,
I request you to visit my analysis on 100+ Social Networking Portals categoriezed in 6-7 categories. Analysis & ranking is given on the basis of popularity and traffic genereated by portals. Hope this link will be helpful to readers. Here is the link:

I am now aware whom to ask to add external link so i am using this page.

message: Can we come up with a good guideline on what belongs in the External Links section?  I've removed a couple entries which I considered linkspam but don't want to keep doing this arbitrarily. --NeilN 02:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Slightly offtopic, but a help page for the BBC News website links to this article. --h2g2bob (talk) 00:22, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  BBC Links here 

message: The introduction section says 
These bookmarks are usually public, but depending on the service's features, may be saved privately, shared only with specific people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of publicness and privateness.
I know what is meant by publicness and privateness, but as to my knowledge, these are not proper –let alone correct– words. --Invenio 07:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, sounds like most dictionaries agree with you. I changed those words to "public" and "private". Better? Dreamyshade 09:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed something about del.icio.us being the most popular. I know it's a blunt tool but Alexa doesn't seem to think so - by some margin. TreveXtalk 17:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that "Collaborative Tagging" incorrectly directs to this article, instead of "Folksonomy" where it is explicitly listed as a synonym. While "Collaborative tagging" is indeed a feature present on social bookmarking sites, it is not one and the same, since it spans multiple other types of systems (for example, Flickr, a social photo-sharing site includes a collaborative tagging aspect, yet has no social bookmarking features). 
I'd greatly if someone can help me fix this, or recommend the process I can follow to propose to fixing it...I'm a WP newbie :) Thanks! -- K.G. 02:47, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I split List of social bookmarking websites out of List of social software. It's very basic, and needs expansion. --Pnm (talk) 03:16, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  New list created 

message: The current article has no image. Since tags are one of the significant features of a social bookmarking system, I suggest to add a tag image. A screenshot of a website like Flickr that provides the most popular tags can used with regards to the copyright issues Roya.hosseini (talk) 22:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: * I believe that you are right. I used the Non-free web screenshot template and uploaded the screenshot of the delicious.com. Though, I think it is better to put the up-to-date image of the site so that people can see the same website as they see in the social bookmarking article. Roya.hosseini (talk) 16:18, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: * I think there is some information value in showing "social bookmarking" as it looked when the term was first used, especially since AVOS Systems has been slowly moving Delicious in a direction away from its original focus on bookmarks and tagging - for example, the current screenshot doesn't show any tags. How about we show both an old screenshot and a new screenshot? Dreamyshade (talk) 21:52, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: * Thank you for the nice suggestion. You are right and I believe that since in the introduction section we mention Delicious as the first social bookmarking website, it is good to keep the current screenshot of the website there. Also, I think it will be a good idea to add the old screenshot of delicious that shows bookmarks and tagging in the history section since it explicitly mention "Founded in 2003, Delicious (then called del.icio.us) pioneered tagging and coined the term social bookmarking."Roya.hosseini (talk) 19:38, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
