@Amar: Because Google don’t have any such sites like social bookmarking sites, and Digg is now no 1 social bookmarking site, so Google is trying to be no 1 site in social bookmarking also…

after checking it personally… I would add that they have to add something more before people start assuming that Google have captured this sub domain also…

Visiting the site it is not all that appealing to look at either. It will be a while before this is the next best thing to be using.

I wouldn’t get too excited about Google’s foray into replicating/’improving upon’ existing social -related services pioneered by other sites. These projects are undertaken with great fanfare then they fall by the wayside. Anyone remember KNOL? How about Google’s acquisition of Jaiku–a twitteresque service? There’s quite a few other examples.

The fact of the matter is that (Myspace notwithstanding), much of the social media/networking space moves on the principle of “First Mover advantage.” The first site to pioneer a certain feature gets the mindshare and usage. Call it a Web 1.0 mental hangover if you wish but it’s the reality.

Should Google acquire these pioneering sites instead? Google’s got the fat wallet to do so but there’s one caveat: In addition to “don’t be evil”, Google’s acquisitions department should also look into that other important maxim “don’t be Yahoo”.

Yes, Yahoo. Remember them? That Web 1.0 behemoth, bloated by crazy Dot Bust valuations and investor frenzy, bought tons of dot com companies based on features and traffic. It managed to squander its advantages by sitting on the properties and not letting them grow/evolve to Yahoo’s full advantage. Goto.com aka Overture is one such tragedy. Geocities and Broadcast.com are two others.

If Google intends to aggressively build on its acquisitions and seamlessly integrate them into a tight Borg-like revenue/content model then it should go on a buying spree. If not… avoid the Yahoo experience.

I would say that at present there are so many bookmarking tools and services and you need to set up a separarte toolbar for each of them. this is not reasonable so I may presume google will have to invent something so that people begin installing it.
