Top 15+ Social Bookmarking Sites of 2009

Apr 2, 2009 Author: Rohin | Filed under: Blog, Tech

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

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.

great list there!
Jason Barone June 19th, 2009 at 8:02 am 17

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…
Guest July 1st, 2009 at 9:08 am 18

Wondering why no Green sites made to the list…

Here is an example, http://www.GreenITers.com

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.
