Wists
Posted by David Weinberger
Wists seems to be del.icio.us except an image you choose from each page you bookmark serves as its identifier. Pictures instead of text. Also, it lets you specify other Wistians as your friends.
Brian Dear (thanks for the link!) says:
At first glance, I can’t say I’m going to switch from Del.icio.us to Wists. I like the fact that Del.icio.us is text-based… I find that with Wists, I have to look at all the pictures, then read the underlying text anyway to make a decision on whether this is interesting or not. I can’t trust the picture to be worth my while.
My left brain agrees with his left brain. Your brains may vary. [Technorati tag: del.icio.us]
Francois Hodierne replies in an email that blogmarks.net does the same thing, except it automatically generates a screen shot as the image. (Wist does that if you don’t specify another image.)

1 image worth 1000 words...
the problem is that sometimes these words are long to find. Personally I don't think that these image add enought information to entries to be usefull. The only thing it take is place in my screen.
