According to Microsoft Evangalist John Martin, the company is set to release a product called “Social Bookmarks” this week. - Sharon McPherson

Whether or not it's anything to get excited about, it's still a big deal because when Microsoft releases it to the masses, it will take social bookmarking to the mainstream. - Thomas Ho from fftogo

Hasn't MS Listas been out for some time now? It was supposed to be a social bookmarking tool..Wonder if its same product?. if it is, then its quite lacking. if its not , then I'll withhold judgment.=) http://listas.labs.live.com/ - Steaprok

@Sharon only a company like Microsoft would name their social bookmarking tool "Social Bookmarks" - Ethan Klapper

I think its too little too late. From the looks of the announcement, this service will compete with Del.icio.us which is also set to release a new version soon. Microsoft needs to think "what's next?" rather than try to compete with "what's now?". - Muhammad Saleem

Hey Redmond - Five years ago called, they want their innovation back - Noah Carter

So here's what's gonna happen. This is gonna tank, but Microsoft won't stop at that, so they'll try to buy Digg or del.icio.us, just how they tried to swallow up Yahoo! - Ethan Klapper

Since when have MS innovated on a product guys... taking existing products, applying a few tweaks, and mass marketing them has been their game plan for the last 20 years (and worked rather well I might add), why would you expect them to buck the trend now? - Martin Jamieson
