Bookmark managers

I've been looking a lot at bookmark managers. We've been doing some development of our own bookmarks managers at work. One of our programmers had a Url manager that has seen some use as a proof of concept. Worked much like Drupal's cloud system or a lot of bloggrolling apps by checking pages for updates.

With the buzz around folksonomies and tagging, I've found it particularly attractive to bring the idea of user tagging into a project we're developing to meet one of our customers' needs. So we've begun building a new program from the ground up that will serve as our bookmark manager. I'll probably be posting more about this in the coming days and will likely include some wireframes and screenshots in my portfolio. The most interesting aspect of all of this is how we're developing sharing/publishing services around this application to drive content selecting and publishing on corporate portals.

I've been meaning to update the portfolio with the work I've done at Lucent in the last 3 years. I just haven't had a reason to update it. I hope to add some of this stuff soon.

Some related sites of interest:

A client was looking at different collaboration and information sharing software such as Groove and OnFolio. I've tried both and they're interesting client software to consider if you're looking for these functionalities.

Feedmarker is also a newish bookmarks manager to watch.

Thanks for pointing that out, Pascal. I haven't seen Scuttle. Looks very cool. We've already built ours, but I might consider this for myself.
