David Weinberger has a good look at del.icio.us – which I’ve discussed many times here – versus the new Wists service. I might be missing something as I haven’t had time to play with Wists yet, but the two features I’ve seen mentioned most often about Wists – implicit “friend” identification and thumbnails – are to my mind things that you can have with del.icio.us right now. Friends to me is similar to del.icio.us’ Inbox functionality, and thumbnails can be delivered (to Firefox users, anyway) via the excellent BetterSearch (formerly McSearchPreview) plugin.
But Wists users, let me know if I’m missing something cool. Not that I’ll switch, as my infoware exit costs are likely too high, but would be good to know.
