blinklist is a social bookmark manager with some more manageable features.

The auto-suggest makes searching for your nested tags a breeze, del.icio.us is yet to implement a proper search tool (although it does use auto-suggest when you bookmark pages…so it’s getting there)

Auto-suggest is a good idea in not only finding a tag, but keeping your tags consistent at the time of bookmarking…when you go to type a tag for an item, it suggests tags (as you type) from you arsenal, if it didn’t do this you may create a new tag when you already have one that is suitable.

It kind of reminds me of del.icio.us direct.or in the way browsing is clearer and tags are more visible and easier to manage.

The unique (kick ass!) feature is breaking up your feeds by having them listed in 3 channels:

• recent

  this is at the user level

• popular

  this is at the user level

• favourite

  as it sounds, favourite, are feeds you add a star to, used for quick access…similar to using gmail

You can kind of do this in Furl (read/unread feature), but this lacks the viewable aggregated list (oops, this is not for tags but for items)
…o.k. I suppose you could do this in del.icio.us by making a favourites bundle heading, but it lacks the quick star approach of blinklist, you’d have to go to settings and add that tag to your bundle (it’s just not automated).

I also think it’s got it’s own re-syndicating tool (RSS-to-Java) like Furl.

Other features are: tag clouds, item click count, private entries, and the usual social functionality.

You can view someone else’s account by clicking on the name of the person who bookmarked the page, but at the moment you can’t click on “Saved by 2 users” and view the URL of the item, showing you all the people who bookmarked that item.

Fuzzy’s Info Agent allows you to create a presentation webpage of the content from selected RSS feeds…a good way to deliver your newsmastering results.

It’s similar to compiling a whole heap of RSS-to-Java boxes on the one page, you also have links running across the top that kind of act like tabs…you can label these links that launch to other pages you have made (so each page or tab can be labelled as a topic)….or you can view all the pages on one page.
