BookmarkG is a new bookmarking service that is aiming to ease the processing of shared bookmarking allowing users to create groups, invite friends and add bookmarks, tags, ratings and metadata in a collaborative manner. However, Josh Lowensohn have found the service lacking in ease of use, something that it strives to do for shared bookmarking. According to him:
Where I think BookmarkG is going to run into trouble is in ease of use. To me the most important aspect of any modern day bookmarking site is the browser integration, and BookmarkG has none of it. You can’t import existing bookmarks, and there’s no extension or bookmarklet to let you add bookmarks on the fly. You’ll have to remember to go back to BookmarkG from whatever site you’re on, then copy and paste in its information manually. Compare that to something like Delicious, where it can pull in related user tags and images and it looks like old hat.
