Yahoo: folksonomy
Yahoo! is now in the folksonomy game, with their release of My Web 2.0.
Here is the home page and tag cloud.
They have an excellent FAQ.
From reading the FAQ it seems like it is a combination of Furl and del.icio.us, best of both social tools.
I use both Furl and del.icio.us as they have unique features, I suppose if del.icio.us searched full-text, then I would go full-time
…I must try Spurl as it seems to have really usable features.
Although it would be logical to use My Web 2.0, I prefer to stick to the pioneers as I have more in common with the interests of the user base.
It seems that all these tools are maturing, and new tools are entering with all the required features, so now it’s becoming a factor of using the tool where the user base suits your interests.
…or a tool that is for a specific purpose or has a unique feature.
Examples
Yummy (social bookmarks for PDF)
Connotea (user base and features are more scientific)
CiteULike (user base and features are more academic)
43 things (wishlist)
Flickr (photos)
…and so on

What are your thoughts on www.blinklist.com? This is another social bookmarking engine we just developed. It is still in beta and much more work remains to be done. Would love to know your thoughts on the UI of the user pages though since we tried something new.
