Re: [ANN] Social Bookmarking Tools (I & II) - in D-Lib Magazine

And in case you are interested in Annotea shared bookmarks, which at least I 
think belong to the category of social bookmarking tools and I have been 
talking a long time about this idea. You can look e.g. the following papers:

http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/Papers/KCAP03/annoteabm.html

http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/Papers/KCAP01/annotea.html

Or the work done in Firefox/Mozilla (http://www.annotea.org/mozilla/ubi.html).
