I've been exploring Furl.  It is sweet.  Sign up for the service, add a browser toolbar that furls pages, one click and you have a searchable online library. 

I love the archiving feature where you save stuff you want to read later with one click.  It just makes remembering so effortless.  That's a great plus over the newsreaders i use such as the built in Radio Aggregator, Sharpreader and Bloglines.  Moreover, although some might say its just another bookmarking tool, i think its useful for me as i use multiple computers - I can now access my bookmarks on different machines.  I can share them too with others through RSS feeds and by adding a script to my blog, which i have just done on the right panel beneath my blogroll. 

What's neat too is i can subscribe to Furl archives of other people i want to, as RSS feeds and get updates daily.  

I just wish they had an easy push-to-blog button like some of the news readers do.

In comparison, Stumbleupon, has a greater community networking focus, because each user has a home page.  However i couldn't be bothered to rank each site i visit, although i am told it is a great way to find new sites around your area of interest. 

So far, i think i prefer Furl for its simplicity. 

I'm going to experiment some more :)
