MisterWong is a newly launched bookmarking service that hails from Germany. The site is already big in Europe but it’s still in private beta in the US.
MisterWong puts emphasis on its social features. There are groups to join, buddies to share interesting bookmarks with, there’s also Buddymatch which hooks you up with users who have the same interests. MisterWong members can message each other privately. The toolbar makes for simplified contribution, with cross browser extensions for adding and accessing your bookmarks as well as importing/exporting bookmarks from other services. You can sign up to be a beta tester now; if you’re chosen, you’ll get a cool MisterWong T-shirt and pin set. One lucky beta tester will win an iPod nano.
