Social bookmarking - storing links on the web and sharing them with others - was the hot thing a year ago (before online video blew up), but the market got saturated pretty quickly with thousands of del.icio.us and Digg wannabes. It's surprising, then, that these things continue to be released, with New York-based Slister launching today. Founded by a technology exec at LinkShare and a publishing company owner, Slister is all about creating shopping lists and wish lists, and finding savings through online coupons.
Social shopping is still a good market, with Crowdstorm, ThisNext, Kaboodle, Stylehive and ShopWiki among the contenders, but Slister adds very little beyond basic bookmarking from your browser. Yes, you can bookmark special offers and create lists of bookmarks, but it's nothing we haven't seen before. They're highly unlikely to reach their projected figures of 1 million users by early 2007 and 5 million by the fourth quarter of that year. Maybe it's not too late to build a YouTube clone? ;)
