I use every opportunity I get to talk about all the data available at bookmarking sites like Delicious and I often wonder why more search tools don’t utilize this wealth of information.

InSuggest is a Swedish company specializing in personalized web recommendations. This summer they launched a service based on Delicious.

InSuggest has had a service for recommending web sites based on URLs you provide. They also have a similar service for suggesting images. Their new tool doesn’t require you to type in URLs to get recommendations. All you have to do is add your Delicious user name.

InSuggest loads your bookmarks in one column, your tags in another and list recommendations in a third.

The recommended sites are represented by a thumbnail, a title, a URL and some tags. The interface is easy to navigate and it looks sleek and cool.

If, like me, you have a large number of bookmarks in disparate categories, refining your recommendations by tag will provide more interesting results. You can even combine tags for more advanced Queries.

Is it any good?

InSuggest is fun to use and the recommendations are mostly good.

However, only part of my tags were displayed, which made filtering by tag less than optimal.

And tags like social_networking are split, so I’m left with “social” and “networking”. It’s still a lot of fun, though, and once these bugs are fixed, InSuggest will be a great tool.
