I write this post to clarify the difference beetween social bookmarking & social networking. I've been so many times asked what's the difference beetween thise two [for those who don't know I run a bookmarking service company and I try to clear things to all the people who are lost in space :)...so, no you know]
So here they are:
- social bookmarking includes sites where people only share links and exchange thoughts about them, vote for them and place them on a top (or push them down). Is the place where you share what site, blog, article, video (and so on) you like and let the world know. Social Bookmarking is very much used for easy back-links for websites in the optimization process. Examples of social bookmarking sites: Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Jumptags, Faves, Diigo, Reddit and so on.
- social networking is for those who socialize on kind of dating sites, but where it is also admited to share links, websites, videos and everything (basicly everybody imitate Facebook, even if they will say they don't). Examples. Facebook (as I already stated, is the most creative one), Twitter, Yahoo Pulse, Netlog, Plurk, Hi5, Myspace.
That shoudn't be very hard, isn't it?
Now play around with both and decide which one suite you most.

Diigo Create A Chrome-like iPad own Browser
May 2011
I have reservations that The big G has plans to bring its Chrome browser to the iPad anytime soon, however for fans of Chrome, there's a new app you might want to consider: iChromy (it's so obvios what name has been choosen :)
The app has a few of the appear and feel of the Chrome browser. There are tabs at the top of the screen and an omnibox that'll let you carry out searches as well as type URLs. There's additionally a bit star on the side of the omnibox, similar to Chrome, that allows you to bookmark pages.
You may also save pages to learn them offline and ship pages to different third-get together providers, including Fb, Evernote, Twitter, Instapaper, and Diigo. The latter service is vital as this app is definitely the creation of the bookmarking service Diigo, and for customers of the location, the easy integration with one's saved bookmarks might be reason alone to use the new iPad browser.
iChromy is not notably function-rich, and it's missing some elements that different iPad browsers have, including the flexibility to set a Web web page to your own home screen.
But should you're a fan of tabbed browsing, then you definitely might be quite happy with iChromy. The stability and velocity of the app are fairly impressive. As a way to keep away from reminiscence issues with having a number of tabs open, iChromy reloads tabs dynamically when it's worthwhile to access them again.
The app is free of charge, but Diigo says future releases of iChromy will have extra superior choices that coincide with Diigo's own annotation and highlighting options, that are a part of Diigo's premium bookmarking services.
