Jots - Another Social Bookmarking Site
There are lots of goodies in my refer log today. Just as I was uploading my last post on Bear Storm, I saw a link from Jots - yet another social bookmarking site. Like del.icio.us, you can use it to upload and tag links either for yourself or to share. Programmers might be interested to know that they have an API too.
Ok, so now as we have our dozenth social bookmarking site - or something like that. There's Spurl, Furl, Simpy, BlinkList, Connotea, My Web 2.0, de.lirio.us, del.icio.us (the pioneer), MonkeyBreath (fooled ya) and now Jots. Is anyone making money yet? Why is it that none of these sites carry Google Adsense? They're walking away from free money!
Fred, don't all these sites concern you? What is the competitive moat around del.icio.us? I love what Josh Schachter has built. I live on his site and I believe in its network effect. However, it seems like someone can come along and replace it if they institute some killer feature.
