I like the concept! Tags have never made sense to me because I may describe very similar things using very different tags depending on my mood that day, what I happen to be thinking about, or any other external influences. But if there are designated "tags" for each concept then your bookmarks really are better organized.

Definitely a good job overall!

Great concept! Certainly does help to structure tags that can grow out of control in any tag cloud. I'm wondering if you've considered building this as an API or dev library so that it can be used by developers not just for bookmarking but also for tagging in general. But then, where's the money in that, eh? (^_^)

Who is the target user? I agree that a semantic web is better, but I cant honestly see myself using it. As far as execution and design however, nice job!

Why not? :)

Target users are people who need more precise way to tag. Wikipedia covers concepts from various fields..

i'd say change your pitch. "semantic social bookmarking tool" sounds like it came from a random startup idea generator.

What about "A social bookmarking extension for wikipedia, attaching bookmarks to different wikipedia articles."

Really, really nice. Excellent work, and I especially like the toolbar button to make bookmarking easy. I'm seriously thinking about using this over del.icio.us.

One quick question, is there a way to import del.icio.us links?

Personally, I love the UI, awesome design, awesome execution. Bookmarklet is sweet as well.

But, I don't know why I need to use this? Why will this help me? What would I store in there?

Currently, my bookmarks menu bar is pretty sufficient.. Is the idea to bookmark stuff I don't know a lot about so I can learn about it via wikipedia?

I’m glad you like it!

Unfortunately, there is no way to import del.icio.us links yet, but that feature will be available soon.
