InSuggest: Make use of your Del.icio.us bookmarks

Del.icio.us the bookmarking service which was acquired by Yahoo has some loyal followers. Personally I find it handy and interesting. It is a great way to find new services and follow trends.

One of the feature that has not been developed is recommendations by del.icio.us which are based on your bookmarks. Though the system is there I never found it useful.

Now a new service has been launched called Insuggest for bookmarks which gives suggestions based on your archive on Del.icio.us. It is very simple to use. On the home page of Insuggest Bookmarks you are required to give your username of Del.icio.us and based on your archive the system recommends other pages that you might like to bookmark.

You can also filter the recommendations by using 20 tags that you have used in your Del.icio.us archive. The interface is interesting and smart usage of Ajax makes it quite appealing. Given the fact that the system works very fast it is a sure winner.

You also have the ability to use ‘image suggestions’ and the ‘website suggestions’ based on your archive on Del.icio.us. What is satisfying for users like me is that all that labor of tagging and bookmarking in Del.icio.us is paying off. Another smart suggestion that can be used to discover more bookmarks, websites and images on the Internet is to use someone else’s account on Del.icio.us to run a query since the account password is not required.

I’m sure that other features would be added in the future to Insuggest but at the moment it seems a winner and I would suggest it to anyone who is interested in discovering new websites and services on the Internet.
