This is definitely not a particularly _new_ idea (I can't recall the name of the service, but there was one -- "Web 1.0" service if you will -- that existed a number of years ago), but I like this implementation. The plug-in, as opposed to a web-proxy method (which is what others I've seen have used), definitely has a more solid look-and-feel. As well, it'll undoubtedly work a lot better since there is no processing of the page involved. This isn't the type of service I would particularly use, but I can see the appeal of it.

Congrats on launching, I'm curious to see how you guys do.

Critsuite (http://zesty.ca/crit/) and Third Voice come to mind.

I've been using SB since alpha and its awesome. I just wish I had more time for surfing the internets right now...

Congrats guys! Looks like a pretty cool idea. Installed it, will start "socially" browsing soon...

I think it would be nice if there were a "Friends" tab so that users could filter links/articles/comments to people they know. Other than that, it looks cool and I'll keep trying it out.

Way to go, guys. I have a new favorite exclamation: Garbowza!

I just started using Diigo last week. Is this somehow better?
