Default Neat Social Bookmarking Tool

OnlyWire: The Only BookMarklet You'll Ever Need! - saw it on a blog post comment and it looks very similar to the tool that is being created for the dashboard.

bookmark to a bunch of places with one click - totally free.

Looks OK but there is not much info on how it works. I think I will wait for the 30DC one as the bookmarking will be spread accross multiple accounts over a period of time so it looks more natural.

I'm assuming that OnlyWire submits them all for the accounts that you supplied and probably all at once...Just my thoughts tho.

Onlywire isn't the only site out there doing this. You could also try Social Marker and Social Poster.

I have to say though, you'd be better off waiting until the 30DC before you start getting into services like this. Not only due to the tool we'll have, but also because not all bookmarks are created equal. Wait for some guidance on how to use bookmarking services effectively and efficiently.

Cheers,
Nez

I just wrote a post on my blog about those kinds of services, they should only be used when you know what you are doing. In particular, they can hurt you on StumbleUpon:

After I wrote that people still weren't getting what I was trying to say so I wrote a follow up post and in that I explained some of the problems that occurred during last years 30DC when people got over-zealous with onlywire and similar tools without really knowing what they were doing.

The difference is that with onlywire you click once and it submits to all the places you entered login details for. The ones you posted above take a much longer time since you have to click and submit for each site separately.

I personally use Bookmarking Demon.
