Furl.net gone - the death of the biggest dofollow bookmarking service :(

    Just got this email - looks like Furl.net (dofollow bookmarking) is gone, and is moving to Diigo (nofollow bookmarking):

    This is really sad. There's basically no dofollow social bookmarking left on the 'net. It's probably only a matter of time until Digg makes the switch, too.

    This news was broken by TechCrunch last week. I was surprised that Furl didn't send any mail about this. But better late than never. :)

    Unfortunately, that was the last of the big ones...especially since ma.gnolia.com died a couple months ago. There are many others, but they're much smaller sites.

    The internet is becoming much more commercialized against web marketers. It's now down to digg.com and just creating your own mini-sites on separate servers to get dofollow links. Pretty sad how all of us had to get punished for the actions of a select few.
