Social Publishing

The Social Software weblog has a nice entry on services that support social publishing. Interestingly the bookmarking service del.icio.us is also a social service. I guess this is mainly due to the aggregating services of this service. These services shows the latest uploads and the archives per category. Personally I do not find these services very useful as there are just to many links that are shown.

Publishing a list with bookmarks is for me very similar to a (simple) weblog. Any weblog-provider could offer a specialist weblog just for the bookmarks. I’ll try to experiment with pMachine in order to do this. The aggregator service are however something different. Maybe this is something for Marc Canter: OpenBookmarks. Then an aggregator can pickup my bookmark xml-file and do the social things with it. A link to any OpenFeed could be part of a FOAF-file.
