Arif, this is something very different than Clipmarks and not competing with it. Blinklist is a service like del.icio.us. But recently they started a new feature called "Blinklist Spaces". That is, you can create a specific page, upload your banner, edit the sidebar text and define how to get content to this page. It is practical to create a "links pool" on some specific subjects.

As for the spaces I created (the ones on this clip), they are on climate change and geosciences; ancient history and ancient writing. I chose these subjects because I usually follow content related to them. So, creating such a page, I get the comfort to find fresh links and news posted from all the Blinklist users...

I chose these subjects because I usually follow content related to them. So, creating such a page, I get the comfort to find fresh links and news posted from all the Blinklist users (I defined a tag-specific content) on subjects I'm interested. This way, I can share what I find with the other people and their related postings come to my "spaces".

Plus, by posting my clip collections to Blinklist and Blinklist Spaces, I drive the attention of the people who use Blinklist to the Clipmarks. to be more clear, an example: Suppose Bunnicula creates a space and names it "Veggie's Corner". Then she defines the tags for the content; finally, she posts the links of her collections at Clipmarks. Any vegetarian would see Bunnicula's posted Clipmarks collections and at least, would pay a visit to the site.

That's it - not a Clipmarks alternative but a good tool with the possibility of promoting our Clipmarks collections.

Skwirl - thank you for your comment. I enjoy your clips too.

Yes, Blinklist Spaces is still a new project and seriously needs development. I told this to Blinklist admin Mike Reining and informed him about the bugs. He said:

Yup, we have some bugs to iron out and some important improvements to make. This is very much work in progress. If you become an active spaces user, I would love to hear your thoughts on how to make it even better.

I think, we, as Clipmarks folks could use services like Blinklist Spaces, Diigo and Stumble Upon as "peripheral tools", while our "main base" is definitely Clipmarks.

I claimed my clips at Technorati too. This way, I began to use my Technorati account again which I opened a year ago and have forgotten...

Oh, I also started a new blog, btw. Yet very simple and primitive but I'm playing with it.

Godfrey: "Top Contributors List" is auto-generated by Blinklist, among Blinklist users whose posts were pulled into the "spaces". If Willhelm uses Blinklist and includes required tags on his posts (like climate change, global warming, ancient history etc. ) he'll definitely be on the list.

Skwirl: I signed up to Wordpress.com more than a year ago with that account. I wanted to choose "invictus" or "sol invictus" but not available. So I had to choose a new name. I always find an attraction at the Greek letter Omega - both for its ankh-like shape and its figurative meaning as "the ultimate" (like God says in The Reveleation of St. John "I am the alpha and the omega" ) So I decided on "omeg...

It was available and I thought it was not a bad name after all, meaning "the end" or in a cyclic manner, "a new beginning".
