The social revolution at Google continues.
You can now create lists of your Google Bookmarks. Just go to google.com/bookmarks and when you’ve received the update, you’ll get a notification prompt:
Click the boxes next to the bookmarks and then use the drop down box to create a new list:
To find a list of your lists, look for “My Lists” on the left sidebar
Click on the link to a list to manage it. What’s really cool is that Google tracks when a page gets updated:
Social bookmarking site Delicious has updated the ability to filter viewing options – plus added a new way to browse your bookmarks that is very StumbleUpon-like.
First up, there’s a new display options menu tucked into the top right corner of your bookmarks display. This is for when you’re viewing “My Bookmarks” – not on the main page. Here’s what it looks like:
Delicious also gave the option menu treatement to the tags section on the right sidebar in “My Bookmarks.”
StumbleUpon has had quite a year. They bought themselves back from eBay and launched a URL shortening service, among other things. Now, they’re revealing the most stumbled sites for their historic year that was 2009.
Here they are, broken down by category:

Ok, so technically Digg users do choose homepage stories by voting up submitted links. But Digg Trends is an experiment in being a little more explicit.
Users who see the test might see a submitted story at the top of their screen. Their will be a countdown clock, showing how long until a story is set to appear on the homepage. The user can say whether or not they think the story belongs on the homepage. Here’s a screenshot per the official Digg blog:
Digg has set up a Twitter account for the experiment. Follow @digg_trends to see which stories are trending.
New registrations to Delicious will now require a Yahoo! ID. The move comes several years after Yahoo! acquired the social bookmarking site.
For now, existing Delicious members can use their current login process. In the future, those accounts will be merged with Yahoo! ID accounts.
Delicious also has added Twitter OAuth support. Go to your Delicious settings page and authorize Twitter. This will prevent constant sign-ins in order to Tweet a Delicious bookmark.
StumbleUpon updated its social bookmarking service last week and one of the key improvements was search. Users can now search within their favorites, friend’s favorites or the entire site. The search was enhanced using community ratings and reviews.
Additional updates include UI and social features. The UI is simpler and more minimalistic. It’s cleaner and just looks easier to use. On the social side of things, StumbleUpon says it’s now easier to find your friends. They’re also following the trend of Twitter and Facebook by enabling near real-time updates.
Social bookmarking site Delicious (owned by Yahoo!) has released another slew of updates. Check ‘em out:
Search Refinements – Previously, you could refine searches by time down to 1 day. Now, you can refine down to 5 minutes.
iPhone Optimization – Delicious has optimized m.delicious.com for iPhone users.
Graphs – URL details and the Tagometer badge (a widget for sites and blogs) are now getting visual representation of their data
Sharing – Who you’ve shared your bookmarks with will now show up under your tags for a bookmarked item.
