SocialBrowse, like a passive twitter / stumbleupon mashup!
This new service SocialBrowse seems really neat. I know I’ve seen similar sites like this in the past but this one, with its Twitter-like friends and followers features looks pretty promising. The Firefox addon allows you to share links you find around the web with your friends. A sidebar in firefox displays a list of your friends links while they’re surfing.
The neatest part is that links which have been shared by people you follow get little friend icons next to them. It’s really not obtrusive and really adds to the passive nature of the service. Imagine scrolling through a large blog only to see your friends icons next to all the hot stuff? Here’s an example from my last post at DKnet.
Its kinda like a passive twitter and stumbleupon mashup. If it got critical mass I could see it being pretty useful. I only wish it allowed users to leave sticky notes on sites with their comments.
Here’s my profile. Check out my links or add me as a friend?

I agree, a comment feature would be a fun addition to this service. Liking it so far though!

I’m one of the founders of Socialbrowse. @JGo, regarding the commenting feature – that’s on it’s way along with a lot of other improvements and features!
