DISQUS

Thoughtful post here, Tac. I still have so much invested in my delicious account, that it remains the primary place where I aggregate and tag stories, posts, websites that I want to keep track of and research later.

Posterous offers its own set of rich features, but how do you find it for tagging and search retrieval?

I rarely used bookmarking to actually go back and search. The other problem is that there are so many places I save things (I'm a total pack rat). So I end up with the scenario of "Did I favorite that in Twitter, save it in Reader, share it, RT it, blog it or bookmark it?" This is why I still love and use FriendFeed. Everything feeds into FriendFeed and then I can search for it all there.

Great post. It's always interesting to see analyses like this of trends in usage of related products over time. One thing worth noting whenever a Delicious traffic chart is shown: a lot of their usage happens via their APIs which isn't reflected in those charts.

Users who value the discovery of new content in addition to bookmarking should check out real-time discovery engine http://www.yourversion.com. The primary focus is discovery of new, relevant content based on your specific interests, but YourVersion also provides tagged bookmarking as well as sharing via email, Twitter, and Facebook. There's also a free iPhone app.

I agree that curation is gaining more mind share these days; YourVersion plans to roll out new features along those lines in the near future.

Cheers

Love Posterous. Its A.W.E.S.O.M.E - in the true sense of the word.
Posting, Tagging, Sharing(automatically) and Commenting/Tweeting have never been easier.

Posterous rocks.
