del.icio.us via the Firefox extension — just what I need — I really like the way it will suggest tags based on how others have tagged a site/page — and I pull them into my TypePad blog’s sidebar — perfect

I used to be a heavy del.icio.us user. Then something turned me off a few times and I started wondering around. I tried Digg and Google Bookmarks for a while. But they weren't what I was looking for. During the last few month, I'm using GMail for my bookmarks (with Google Toolbar thingy called "Send to GMail"), and it seems that I'll stay wit hit for some time.

I realized that scattering my web knowledge over several services makes it way too hard to locate. Part of my web knowledge comes through email anyway (Google Alerts, some feeds, links from friends and co-workers, etc), so there won't be any way to get away from it. Integrating the rest of my stuff into Gmail turned out to be easy, and I like it is now. Filters, labels and Google Search make it too good of a package to try something else. At least for now. :)

Terrible data source. AddThis doesn’t track usage of “Ctrl-D” bookmarking. In-Browser bookmarking is thus GROSSLY underrepresented. It’s so bad, this post should be updated/redacted.

I use simpy.com for the main reason that you can set the default behavior to “private”. I love having ready access to my bookmarks from anywhere while not letting everyone else know what I’m working on this week.

I’m in a similar position, Stephen. I dabble in other tools, but it always comes back to del.icio.us for me. The Firefox add-on sealed the deal months ago. It’s just too convenient to save a bookmark in one browser, and have it available in another.

I'm so deeply embedded in del.icio.us that I can barely contemplate stepping out of it. I use their excellent Firefox add-on and don't have any bookmarks stored browser-side any more, except for a very few instant-access to tools and integration buttons in my Bookmarks Toolbar.

I use several Google tools otherwise (Reader, Calendar, iGoogle), but I don't think I've ever added a Google bookmark - which is perhaps a little off.

I've tried ma.gnolia, and love its features, but the parallel processing of adding both del.icio.us AND ma.gnolia bookmarks was overload, so I dropped it.

I know it's totally unnecessary, but if I could have a widget that let me add to del.icio.us, ma.gnolia and Google Bookmarks all at once, and manage them, I'd probably use it.

Yojimbo! It syncs (kinda) across machines using .Mac, and allows bookmarks to be quickly tagged and arranged with smart folders. On top of that, if I’m researching something like a new speaker system I can create a note which is essentially a rich-text editor page and literally drag links into it as well as images straight off a web page, chunks of text etc, and then tag it. It’s the goods.

Del.icio.us, I used to use Google Sync but it wasn’t as stable as the FF extension for Del.icio.us.

Delicious. Once you get the browser extensions and figure out how to cleverly tag your bookmarks, you cannot live without it. Maybe the other services have similar features but I didn’t bother trying.

del.icio.us all the way. I've triedmuch used every service on the planet, and I always come back to del.icio.us. The updated Firefox plugin makes like a lot easier. I also use a combo of Clipmarks and Google Notebook (mostly the latter) to capture text/notes which I might want for reference purposes.

Now if only Yahoo would update the del.icio.us interface, and make the RSS feeds work better. I would love to use del.icio.us in conjuction with Tumblr, but it doesn't quite work properly

Stumbleupon for sure! I tried Digg, Delicious, and Reddit and still use them occasionally, but Stumbleupon has been the most enjoyable and valuable for me. For things that I’ll use only temporarily or in a given day/week, I use Google. (Warning: SU gets addictive.) :)
