With the growing amount of information out there, it still doesn’t make it any easier to find what we are interested in. Searching google gets us only so many relevant results, and who browses past the first two pages. Or you can skip google and search by tags at the thousands of social tagging sites.

Here are some sites that might make it easier (someday):

Tagomatic - Still in it’s infancy, and unless you search for very popular items, the results will be few. You can help out by tagging queries, and making this site grow.

Simility - Comes in the form of an extension to the greatest browser ever, Firefox. Again, it offers little suggestions. Actually, I kept the toolbar open for a couple of days while browsing hundreds of site, big or small, and I was dissapointed to recieve no results whatsoever. Maybe it will catch on and grow… maybe not. You cannont submit material to it directly, instead through an opensource information community, found at the bottom of their website.

However, your best bet, at the moment, would be to sign up with one of the many social bookmarking services.

Spurl - Spurl offers a “related link” feature that finds results in your bookmarks as well as fellow members, bolding the ones that aren’t yours.

Furl - Furl offers the same, except it lists the five most relevant related links below the bookmark url you wish to visit. Of course, it’s not limited to five; there is a “see more link” too.

And all social bookmarks allow you to keep an eye on specified user bookmarks through RSS. Know somebody with the same interests? Subscribe to their bookmark feed.
