New links feature
.. as in “new links” and “new feature”. I created an account (free) on BlinkList and am publishing the links I add to my accoun there on the sidebar of this blog. The section is just below the search field, which is below the Flickr photos (or “Flickr badge”) on the right.
BlinkList is a social bookmarking site like del.icio.us. BlinkList’s site has a page devoted to explaining its advantages over del.icio.us. It is certainly a much nicer user interface and the fact that you can publish the links on your own blog so easily is a nice feature. BlinkList also offers the option of putting selected other users’ lists on your own watch list. This is a feature I very much missed in del.icio.us.
Let me know if you start an account so I can add you to the list of people whose list I watch.
If you are a Digg user you’ll also note the similarity regarding the “blink it” feature.

Hi Eszter,
Thanks for the great feedback on BlinkList! We are super excited to hear that you like our new site. Thanks also for your personal email and feedback today. We just fixed the security issue that you identified. We are still making some improvements to the new bookmarklet tool but it should now be working just right.
If you have other ideas or suggestions for improvements please let us know. However, I am not sure we can always fix everything within hours. 😉
Mike
