Blue Dot mention in WSJ online (Tip of the Week).

Quoted: Some sites that are particularly oriented to that use of social bookmarking: bluedot.us, technorati.com and digg.com.

Even though Blue Dot was not mentioned in the recent Readwrite/Web roundup, Blue Dot looks like a #2 amongst the non-delicious social bookmarking sites.

Blinklist displays the highest alexa reach (not quite double Blue Dot's). Followed by BlueDot, Ma.gnolia, Simpy, and far below, Furl (I expect Furl has many more users than represented here - the nature of their site probably generates lower Alexa rankings).

Blinklist looks to be on a descending curve, while Blue Dot caught up to and passed Ma.gnolia in August. Simpy seems to be just plugging along at the lower level that Blue Dot was at last spring.

If you click over to Page Views, you'll see an interesting phenomenon - the top 4 sites seem to be converging to the SAME number of page views, with BlinkLists' decline being the most dramatic.

We just passed a milestone in Blue Dot's history. I thought it a good time to share some of what we're learning about our user base.

geek glue's blog has a wealth of comments on Blue Dot and social bookmarking. He's a fan and has some great observations about the utility his looking for in a bookmarking system.

BTW - love the tag cloud on this page - I gotta steal that for my blog(s)!

List of Social Bookmarking sites. I just submitted Blue Dot for inclusion - we should rank about #6 based on our Google Page Rank.

Post about coRank. I added a comment here.

Quoted: I'm the “Head Cheerleader” at Blue Dot. You’re right, it is an evolving space - not sure it’s that informative to say anymore that this service is just like these other two added together (though that’s a convenient shorthand for people trying to understand what these new sites do).

Rumors that MySpace is adding a bookmarking feature now change the equation too.

Blue Dot started as “social bookmarking” - much like del.icio.us, but focused on showing users a summary of what their friends are “dotting”. In January, we too, expanded our offering by adding Blue Dot Buzz - showing the most popular bookmarks across our network.

I think our ultimate vision is much like that described for coRank - we’re trying to make it easier for users to find the most interesting content on the web, without being overwhelmed by noise.

Template of links for posting to bookmarking sites. Chris placed Blue Dot as #2! Not because he thinks Blue Dot is the best ... but because we're alphabetically early in the list.

I don't care - it's nice to be this list whatever the reason!

I noticed he's linking to our fall-back UI. I know that's the easiest looking code - we should do something about making it simpler for people to get our snazzy in-place editing UI.
