Faves climbs in Alexa rank, yet slips on Compete - now sitting at #11 ranked consumer site in Seattle.

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.

I had to re-install the Faves Add-on when I installed Firefox 3 (RC). Not sure why my current add-on was not marked as "compatible".

I'm really liking Rob's experiments with jQuery plugins to make fancy Faves widgets.

The new Blog Widget is up on Faves.com! Check out an example on http://startpad.org.

Nice review of Faves.com from Jan 2008 - just noticed it now.

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).
