Bluedot.us - Social Bookmarking Gets Even More Social

Social bookmarking hasn´t been around for that long, but the market has quickly been filled. BlueDot takes social bookmarking and amplifies it. More than just cataloguing what sites people visit, BlueDot actually aggregates information about what your friends are bookmarking or dotting. BlueDot´s functionality makes it more expansive than other similar sites such as Del.icio.us, as the former takes on a more social networking bent. Members create profiles which also contain information about what pages have been recently ‘dotted´ by friends. Members can also find new pals to share their dots with, and it´s easy to use. You simply need to install a BlueDot button in your browser which enables one click ‘dotting´. Go crazy with dots, it´s free, and you might learn some new things about your busom buds while you´re at it.

“Blue Dot, Inc., is a Seattle-based company whose mission is to help people stay connected with their friends, wherever they are, whenever they want. Through a new type of communication described as Social Discovery®, Blue Dot´s free Web site allows users to find, save and share interesting Web content with friends and family. The company´s technology lets users quickly communicate and share information on a wide range of topics in a way that can be easily incorporated into their daily activities.”

BlueDot´s got the social networking thing going for it, plus it´s got news, videos, and bookmarks. Full of getting to know you goods, plus tools for sharing, the site is well designed and it´s easy to use.

Entering a very crowded market, I must say; hard to tell if users will find this to be just another social bookmarking/socialnetworking mashup or not.
