Meshly: Social Bookmarking Through IM

Meshly is a new tool which lets your save your links to your Meshly page through Instant Messenger. Fellow Meshly users can then vote on your links and take it to the frontpage. The concept seems have come from Twitter, Digg and Del.icio.us. Meshly currently supports Google Talk, AIM and MSN Messenger.

I have always been a great fan of Del.icio.us. When I first read about Meshly on StartupSqaud, I quickly came to a conclusion that Meshly will certainly kill Del.icio.us, but I was wrong. Though Meshly lets you bookmark links through IM, it’s not as simple as Del.icio.us. I think Meshly would have been better, if it was a plain social bookmarking tool with no Digg like component.
