We noticed a new referrer on our stats, BlinkList, and then a comment by Mike to an article on TechCrunch, "edgeio launching soon" led me to BlinkList. Too much serendipity to ignore, so I explored BlinkList and discovered it fits very well into my interest on tagging.
BlinkList is about discovering and sharing the best, most interesting, funniest, and coolest content that you find online. However, it is not about YOU, it is about ALL of US. Start sharing your online treasures and hot discoveries with people like you and your friends.

So what does all this mean? It seems to be the intersection of tagging, ranking and social networking; tagging your bookmarks and sharing those tags with others through email and RSS feed syndication, as well as ranking or "starring" tags, the Links/URIs and other BlinkList users.
Setting up an account is easy, and like most sites, not secure - SSL. Importing bookmarks failed with the following error.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/blinklis/public_html/Class/link.class.php on line 465
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/blinklis/public_html/Class/link.class.php:465) in /home/blinklis/public_html/User/import.bookmark.php on line 143
But a few of the bookmarks made it before the failure, about 30 pages worth. 
Using the toolbar plugin to Blink a new URL allows you to make it private [all of your imported bookmarks start as private] or share with your friends; selecting that latter option opens a dialogue for a To: list of email addresses plus add a message for that email. Highlighting a section of the web site that you're blinking puts that text into the description in the Blink dialogue, and adding tags brings up a list of tags that have been used before. This can later be edited through your list as well.
All-in-all, very cool.
So, Taghop, Tags and OPML and now this. Much to explore, and much to advance collaboration among colleagues, friends and family.
As to the question, "What is edgeio?" - we'll have to wait and see.
