Been sometime since I explored social bookmarking. Here are
ways to access shared KM links and to keep abreast of KM related stuff. WikiPedia has a
great list of tools
KM related tags you may wish to use are: KM, knowledgemanagement,
knowledge_management, knowledge, PKM,
personal_knowledge_management.
It is useful to subscribe to the RSS feeds and have new entries sent to your
aggregator (I use Bloglines)
Some bookmark tools include:
CiteULike - tagged links + repository (see comments)
Connotea - mainly for scientists
Del.icio.us - by far the most popular and largest
Del.irio.us - a Del.icio.us hack
Frazzle - PKM tool?
Furl - personal web
Jots - sparse KM coverage
Scuttle - low useage
Spurl - store links and text copy
Zniff - a 'human search engine' based on Spurl
Another way to make sure you have things at your fingertips is to store the tag
URL in your browser bookmarks (favorits) and visit the page when you feel the
need. This is more akin to pull rather that push access.
Social bookmarking (I mostly use Del.icio.us), has become a useful and easy way
to access KM related finds, it is almost part of my daily Internet tour. There
is much redundancy - but often a gem or two will emerge from the sifting.
So how exacly are you using social bookmarking?
I think social bookmarking would benefit from social ranking, particularly when timely/helpful ranking suggestions are rewarded through greater ranking influence:

Thank you for a great list!
I have not worked so much with the ones you are listing. But I have a lot of experience from sharing bookmarks with a limited number of people within a specific field.
I am launching a webservice where collaboration is in focus. Sharing bookmarks is one component. What we are trying to do is to combine social networking, social bookmarking, project workspace, all into one service.
If you are interested, we are right now looking for beta testers.

BTW, maybe the following link (a comparison of different tools) is of your interest: tool comparison

Well, there is the whole top-down and bottom-up, faceted approach. While tags are emergent, facets need not be so.
More intresting than the tags themselves is how tags can be used as the cultural eigen, which in turn would indicate the cultural geography of the tagging base.

You missed probably the best tool for scientists: CiteULike (http://www.citeulike.org/).
Many thanks, added this to the list - it seems to be a very useful site. DCG
