Choosing the Social Bookmarking Service That's Right For You

With so many Social Bookmarking sites on the Internet... it's hard to choose which site or sites are best for you. Here are two Social Bookmarking sites that have two very different approaches to bookmarking content. And each service has additional features that might make the difference as to whether or not you actively use their site. Simpy connects users through similar tags from other users, whereas Faviki organizes content with semantic tags from Wikipedia. Each offers a unique and interesting approach to tagging content, and you should consider which method would work best for you.

Simpy

Simpy is a social bookmarking service where you can save, tag and search your own bookmarks and notes or browse as well as search other users' links and tags. Users can share links with others, or keep them private. Using your bookmarks as a representation of your interests, you can use Simpy to find like-minded people. For instance, if you have bookmarked a lot of pages about search engine optimization, you can find other Simpy users who are interested in search engine optimization. You can also subscribe to other users via Watch lists, which allows you to create your own ecosystem inside Simpy.

Faviki

Faviki is a social bookmarking tool that lets you use Wikipedia concepts as tags. Faviki allows you to keep your own tags and connect them to common, universal concepts from the world's largest collection of knowledge! By bringing together social bookmarking and Wikipedia, Faviki lets you bookmark web pages using Wikipedia's terms. In Faviki, everyone uses the same names for tags from Wikipedia. Faviki extracts structured information from Wikipedia and represents it in a flexible data model. These tags are references to objects that are categorized automatically, keeping you and your friends' bookmarks and interests well organized.

So, if you want to connect with users who just have similar interests, or if you want to connect with people who have similar interests found in Wikipedia, then these two Social Bookmarking sites are worth a visit.
