Not that I'm saying it'll be a success, but the Yahoo! Buzz story should serve as a lesson to folks that might automatically discount these kinds of moves going forward. to wit:
And del.icio.us is pretty neglected, especially when compared with Digg.

very true ... will be interesting to see how far Microsoft takes it. Google launched a social bookmarking experiment of sorts a few months back that really didn't materialize into anything.

Nothing novel ideas comes from Microsoft. All they are doing is copying and entering very late in the market.

I wonder how this compares to last year's Microsoft Bookmarking system, Listas (http://listas.labs.live.com/)? That product was pretty underwhelming when I last looked at it, and has not seemed to penetrate the consciousness of the masses yet.

This seems like one of those "whatever" MS announcements at first, as MS have been pretty late to really 'get' the web and their web product offerings are typically me-too copies of others successful web products.
Coming so late to the party, I'm interested to see what MS will bring to the table - there are a few areas (IMO) that social bookmarking needs to improve on (ease of use, browser integration, semantic tagging) - I hope MS can address some of these areas.

Very interesting to know that Microsoft now think those "free" web sites, really makes diference... the MS problem is that they think only to revenew...

Microsoft are running out of ideas faster than they can: 1. think they really shit new ones up, or: 2. rip off pre-existing old ideas.
Lamentable...

Seriously. Microsoft seems to be King of "late to the game" these days... My thoughts are they'll have a social network product in 2 years from now ;)

Way not?> Some times take longer to see whats going around with a new market, and I agree with Microsoft! 100%
First, it's no surprise to see Microsoft entering into this arena. Actually one might ask why the sleeping giant hasn't taken the plunge long ago. And perhaps it's simply due to the size of the organization that Microsoft is.
Second, while you provide 3 different links each of them went to a basically similar setup platform with the header graphics changing. If we sign into one does that mean that we have signed into them all or are they really running these 3 separage projects as 3 exclusively unrelated separate projects? Further, is their an advantage to working with all 3 as oppossed to just selecting 1 to run with?
