Top 15+ Social Bookmarking Sites of 2009
2 Apr2009
Since the early 2000’s social sites such as Digg & Stumbleupon were barley heard of. Presently in 09′ the social bookmarking scene has exploded exponentially leading more people to find popular posts by visiting their favorite sites or finding out by word of mouth (or tweet) via Twitter.
I’ve compiled a slightly subjective list of the most popular social bookmarking sites according to statistical data from Alexa.com & Compete.com.
My only critique of social bookmarking sites is that its becoming more and more fractured and segmented. I’m not entirely sure if this is a good thing for bloggers. Personally I despise blogs that use more than 6-7 sharing buttons. But I get the feeling that in the next 3-4 years we’ll have 300 different social bookmarking sites devoted to different topics.
Social Bookmarking Sites of 09′
| # | Social Site | Google PageRank | Compete.com | Alexa.com |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Digg | 8 | 33,433,760 | 184 |

“Squidoo is a free, easy-to-use service that allows anyone to post a lens about a topic that they have expertise in.” |
||||
| 6 | Technorati | 9 | 3,309,174 | 660 |
“Real-time search for user-generated media (including weblogs) by tag or keyword. Also provides popularity indexes.” |
||||
| 7 | Delicious | 8 | 1,623,083 | 2,363 |
“social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks.” |
||||

Nice list. Is it just me, or does Delicious seem a little too.. "blah" for 2009? I use it for nearly all my bookmarks because the Firefox extension is so helpful, but there's really nothing innovative about it. I like StumbleUpon for finding cool stuff, and Diigo sounds like it could be a winner too…

I think StumbleUpon is the one with the most potential out of that list. They just need to diversify their offerings – but they already have a great db of users and links to start with.
