And - crazy as it sounds - there was no really good way to share links. No Twitter or Facebook or Pinterst, so people had to use their blog. Or they could put it on Delicious, and others could subscribe to their feed via RSS (Originally there wasn't a way to view what all your contacts had bookmarked at once).

But Pinterst showed how the "social" side of "social bookmarking" should really be done.

I still don't have anything close to a good bookmarking solution that works across all of my devices and applications.

You just ignore that there still isn't. There is a cloud for each browser. Which is not the same. Also it's all or nothing. And it's all public if you consider the current offerings term of services.

With delicious From day one you bookmarklets that worked with anybrowser. And a kickass Mozilla sidebar thingy
