New social bookmarking site gets coverage on TechCrunch despite launching into a super crowded space with a closed beta.
I was pretty disappointed on the lack of a 1) Faves mention or 2) any sort of analysis on the uniqueness of the service.
Seems like any startup can get a TechCrunch mention now by just offering "exclusive signups" for TechCrunch readers!
Quoted: The tagging and link-sharing market has no shortage of competition, but that doesn't seem to be deterring many developers. Mento, which has just ...

newsgator has a SharePoint extension called Social Sites, that creates a personal profile, recommends friends and feeds via common interests and tags, and also uses Social Bookmarking to bring in content from outside the sharepoint site.

Nice list of social bookmarking sites, sorted by (published) PageRank. Does a nice job of grouping sites into tiers by popularity. Faves is listed as a PR6 site.

Community bookmarks on MSDN and TechNet. MS's previusly announced offering, Listas, was really weak - and seemed more like someone's personal experiment, than a full blown entry by MS.
Not sure how to interpret this one - but seems targeted specifically at the developer community.
Quoted: According to Microsoft Evangalist John Martin, the company is set to release a product called “Social Bookmarks” this week. The ...

Looks like Microsoft Live Labs has shipped a very low-end outlining tool on Live Labs. It also has a toolbar that looks like it can extract web clippings.
I really don't get what this service is for. Seems like Microsoft is producing a lot of things like this lately!

DOA social bookmarking service. IE and Windows only, requires rich client download. Raised $2.2M in angel funding. They think they can be ad supported and make this go. Good luck (esp. given then very limited market and big barriers to adoption - I wouldn't even trial their (untrusted) software).
Compare to Faves.com which works cross-platform and any browser, does not require a rich download (just drag a favlet/bookmarklet), and works from any machine you roam to.
Quoted: The idea of leaving sticky notes on the Web for others to find has been tried many times, but has never really taken ...

Another social ranking tool from Yahoo - they have a "Buzz Up" button you can add to any story or post. The most popular ones can appear on Yahoo home page (which would be a big boon to any web site).

Social Poster is an SEO tool. I would say it is mostly "mis-used" - i.e., people are trying to game search engines by getting inbound links.
Of course, Faves.com uses "nofollow" links - so there is NO SEO benefit to bookmarking on Faves.com. But many SEO people are not sophisticated enough to realize this. So we are constantly having to remove spammer accounts.

You must be Mike's friend before you can comment on this Fave.It looks like the cool features being touted in the article are a Facebook friend importer and robust sharing. Faves already has robust sharing, it's just buried where nobody can find it. Does the Faves contact importer now offer Facebook importing? Seems like rasing the prominence of those features could be quite easy.
