Propeller
Formerly known as Netscape, it has gone from a portal site to a social bookmarking Digg-style site. Cover all topics from technology to politics and entertainment.
Mixx
A social news sites which has a category for all types of news included business, entertainment, sports, health, news, technology, …
Newsvine
A website consisting of community-driven news stories and opinions. It is designed to enable collaborative discovery and discussion of the news and not for vehicle for self-promotion.
Conclusion
There are a great deal of social news sites on the internet, sometimes too many. Most of them are dormant and are no longer active, largely because they were poorly marketed and hence, never had an active community of users in the first place. The list above is not meant to be comprehensive. It includes some social bookmarking websites out there but they are only the ones which I think has potential for providing you with relevant/fresh news while giving exposure to your ideas, brand or website.

Thanks…
Hi…
Thanks for sharing social bookmarking…
I need this information
Cheers - Leet
A very complete introduction of the bookmarking site, excellent!
Most of my opinions are same with you, currently feel Digg and StumbleUpon are really traffic booster.
Mixx? Mmm I’m still trying its possibility
Yes, Digg-effect and Stumble-effect is amazing
I agree it too..”www.reddit.com” effect is also good enough.
I have not try any social bookmark site yet, so I am not too sure how it will help me.
Well, they actually help you a lot, brand name, traffic, money, …
Hmm…a nice post. I need this information.
Thanks a lot =)
Nice post. I really like SU because of the ability to generate a really quick and large flood of traffic.
Plus I have been wanting to play with their newer ad packages, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. And obviously gotta’ love Delicious and Digg. But a place I use to hang a lot was Newsvine… Yeah you don’t want to do any “self promos” there. lol.
I try to “self promo” some of my posts and always get their guideline back in my inbox lol
So much information to process, I usually just stay with Digg. Although I do try to promote my sites to all of the majors.
Hi
You have an excellent list of bookmarking site. Will be extermely useful.
Thanks once again.
digg, reddit, Stum, propeller are the most interesting.
Slashdot, I cant bookmark my site, there are some problem and I dont know why
I use Digg, Stumbled Upon and Delicious religiously, but haven’t dugg to deeply into the others. Has anyone found much success in the other sites listed? I’ve used Reddit and Yahoo Buzz, but only a few times and not with much success.
The top 10 list of social bookmarking sites you should join is missing facebook, but that is understandable, given the gated and eletric fenced community that facebook is.
StumbleUpon traffic is something else. I swear by it, especially if you need a big spike of loads of traffic in a short amount of time.
Wow…Great list
Thanks…Currently, i just using Digg and Stumble.
I will others soon
I agree with Jacques, Stumbled Upon has at times given me amazing traffic. If you get the right article and have a little luck, your traffic can spike significantly.
I put more time and effort into Digg, but don’t really get the traffic, just the Digg numbers. My highest Digged post has just 117 Diggs. I’d estimate that normally only half or a third of the Diggers visit the site. Many just Digg to get Diggs.
Delicious is just an amazing and fun tool. I have gotten traffic that is comparable to Digg. My biggest success has over 780 tags.
When it comes to bringing in traffic I have had the best response from Digg.
The social media sites should be joined because the social media websites drive more traffic to your websites and increase the page rank of your site.
Why haven’t you Twittwer and Facebook amoung them, aren’t they social bookmarking sites ?
No, they aren’t.
We should call them “Social Media” or “Social Networking” sites.
