I just noticed this 3-month old review of Blue Dot on KillerStartups. We're ranked at only "4 killers" right now - help us get higher ranked by clicking on the "+" button on this page.
There's also an "exit survey" on the page where 80% think we'll either go IPO, Be Bought, or Survive (20% think we'll "Bomb").
Quoted: Social bookmarking hasn´t been around for that long, but the market has quickly been filled. BlueDot takes social bookmarking and amplifies it. More than just cataloguing what sites people visit, BlueDot actually aggregates information about what your friends are bookmarking or dotting. BlueDot´s functionality makes it more expansive than other similar sites such as Del.icio.us, as the former takes on a more social networking bent. Members create profiles which also contain information about what pages have been recently ‘dotted´ by friends. Members can also find new pals to share their dots with, and it´s easy to use. You simply need to install a BlueDot button in your browser which enables one click ‘dotting´. Go crazy with dots, it´s free, and you might learn some new things about your busom buds while you´re at it. <br />

Blue Dot in the "top 5" according to this article. They like:
Furl - Best for serious research
Netvouz - powerful, grouping in folders, link checker
del.icio.us - biggest community, simple (just right)
Ma.gnolia - best design, groups, discussions
Bluedot - most socialAlso mentioned: Yahoo MyWeb (powerful), Blogmarks (good), Google Bookmarks (sucks).
Surprising to me that that don't mention Blue Dot's more powerful authoring, and capturing thumnail images in each Dot.
Quoted: If you spend a lot of time online or do any kind of web based research, chances are the Bookmarks menu in your browser is no longer sufficient for you. If you browse the web from more than one computer, storing bookmarks in the browser is downright counterproductive. It is time to choose an online bookmarking tool. Here are Pandia's top 5 social bookmarking services.

Just got $10M from Benchmark.
Quoted: Yelp is a fun and easy way to find, recommend and talk about what's great - and not so great - in San Francisco and beyond. Members share their favorite recommendations - everything from the latest restaurants and shops, to the best hair salons and spas, to doctors and yoga instructors.

Quoted: I don't remember this being here before... I'd consider the import if they'd let me import based on tag only. I'm not interested in bringing them all in...
I don't know why I'm liking blue dot so much. Must be the pretty bookmarklet and the images you can add to your 'dots'. They really need an api instead of the widgets though....
