Mister Wong…bookmarking and buddies and more
Though the name of this social bookmarking website is pretty different from the rest of its competitors, unfortunately it does not offer any different features to its users. It is quite like the social bookmarking website, namely, ‘Del.icio.us’ and offers services like bookmarking a website, or a webpage, sharing these links with friends, adding new friends, sending them messages or basically what is known as ‘Wonging’.
Mister Wong is one of the famous and most used social bookmarking websites in the Europe and this is because of the fact that this website is available in six different languages, namely, German, English, Russian, Spanish, French and Chinese. And it, thus, is able to cover almost all the variety in population. Even though this social bookmarking website came into existence only in March 2006, it has still successfully managed to create a name of its own. Mister Wong is German setup started by Kai Tietjen.
