Clancy and Kristen, that was exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Good stuff. I made a de.lirio.us account a while ago; I actually tried to fool around with it a bit the past few days, but the site is having some problems. So, del.icio.us and de.lirio.us are functionally identical? The latter is a bit more cluttered visually, to say the least, and the URLs aren't as pretty (which matters to nerds like me who type a lot). I forgot about Digg; I used it for a while, but the annotations were uneven, and the repeats were also irritating. It also seemed overwhelming at times. I should try it again for a while and see if they've cleaned some of that stuff up. Dan, thanks for the pointer. Clancy and Kristen, that was exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Good stuff.

The short answer is that I now use Blummy to organize my social app bookmarklets (I'm trying Ma.gnolia, StumbleUpon, Blinklist, and Diigo besides del.icio.us, Technorati, and Digg), but I think Ma.gnolia is the only one worth your time because it has a thoughtful interface (designed by the Happy Cog crew) and privileges groups, which is what a social app should do. It's in closed beta, but they are allowing screenshots to be published and almost everything works well. Also, there is a Greasemonkey Firefox script for an "Add to Ma.gnolia" for any del.icio.us site. I’ve just posted again today on social bookmarking apps, this time on social annotation tools.

Also, you might have seen it, and I don't know how helpful it is to you, but I wrote <a href="http://culturecat.net/node/973" rel="nofollow">a little something</a> a while back about social bookmarking.

I signed up for an account, but haven't used it. It says it makes an archive of the pages you bookmark, so perhaps that wayback dimension adds value. There is furl.
