Maybe the bookmarking networks are considerably explored. Yet, most people don't even use the web for anything useful. All they want is already on Facebook galleries and those "social" networks. Bookmarking options are limited by its sources and most people sources are always the same, you just see

A bit late, but thought I'd put my 2 cents worth anyways (and besides, you did ask ;), I think what your proposing is great, there's no doubt there :) I took your comment as "We need to think of something different..." and went with that, and not to find an alternative to your proposal (because I

What I proposed allows you post links and organize them. Why should the social network handle content? I can post a video on viemo,bookmark it with my network and find out who else is interested in it. I like the idea of being able to handle groups of users though. Facebook does it. In a sense a g

How about something for the "tinkers"? Something like one of those "super malls" but for social networking. A place as varied in its members as it is in content? For example, assuming that life is more than just being about sharing pictures and one-liners on somebody's wall (not that there's anyth
