BlinkList
I decided to try out the social bookmarking sites that have been "all the rage" lately, well more like 5 months back. After looking at about 5-10 of them, including the most popular one - del.icio.us - I decided to settle on BlinkList. It has one of the more visual pleasing and cleaner UIs out there. Most of the other sites seemed to be mostly text based.
You might asking what is a social bookmarking site and why would you use it? Well, the simple answer is bookmarking management. It helps me classify sites that I'm interested in by associating keywords to it, also known as tagging. Since I can add multiple tags to a URL, I have the flexibility to classify it against different topics compared to having a folder system. With a folder system, the url can be placed in only one folder.
So, what about the "social" part? The social aspect is that it allows me to share my bookmarks with the rest of the world. More exactly, to share interesting sites that I find with friends and family.
This is the link directly to the site.

This is a link to sites that I have tagged as interesting. These are probably the top notch sites that I consider latest and greatest, bleeding edge stuff and all that jazz.
Sites that are interesting.
To the right, under links, there is a list of the top 30 tags that have been associated in my blinklist.
