A New Social Bookmark Service SecondBrain

You might want to take a look at the new social bookmarking service Second|Brain.

You could win a Macbook Air, iPod, or Xbox 360 too.

What does Second Brain do?

secondbrain.gifSecond Brain captures many of your action and bookmarks frm other social bookmark services and displays them in one place. You can then search and find them using tags.

For instance, My Second|Brain account is currently capturing my Twitter comments, WordPress.com posts, StumbleUpon stumbles, and Del.icio.us bookmarks. You can add DIGG, Flicker, Blogger, Google and a few others. You can also bookmard directly to Second Brain.

This allows Second Brain to be a second posting for your social bookmarks.

In this case, unlike StumbleUpon and Digg, you can freely submit bookmarks of your own sites without incurring the wrath of others. Basically, it's a second chance for your bookmarks to be noticed.

I have notice that Second Brain even gets a screenshot of the page that is Del.icio.us bookmarked.

I find that a cool feature. You can also organize your bookmarks into collections and make some bookmarks private. I haven't had a chance to see if they add the screenshot from other services.

The next step is following and getting followers to your content or lifestream as SecondBrain calls it.

Much like friends on StumbleUpon. You can follow friends on your SecondBrain page. It works a bit like a MyBlogLog home page where you have a list of social bookmarking actions of your contacts.

I recoment you take a look at Second Brain for two reasons.

First, this a simple way to get more exposure and traffic using social bookmarking and once set up,

it takes no time to use. It is all automaticly fed from your other social accounts. You can ad SecondBrain buttons  to your browser just like Del.icio.us. The buttons work just like the Del.icio.us browser buttons work. Better yet, bookmark with Del.icio.us and your bookmark goes to two places at once. Plus MyBlogLog if you added your account there.

Secondly, they have a contest.

Join (it is free) and you are entered in a contest. First prize is a MacBook Air. Second is an XBox 360. Third prize is a iPod Nano. And no, you do not have to blog about it. Those who create the best content and networks will win. Adding content is soooo easy. Join now, the contest only runs while SecondBrain is in beta.

James, this is certainly an excellent review of an excellent service. Not many users really take the time to write about their new discoveries the way you did.

The screenshot you noticed is powered by Thumbshots.org - so the answer is yes, Secondbrain displays a screenshot of each site in the Thumbshots index (interesting would be to learn how Thumbshots gathers data).

Anyway, thank you for an excellent read. :)

Secondbrain is a service that makes it easy to bookmark articles, blog posts, videos and photos that you find online to a centralized source.
