BlueDot, which launched at Gnomedex last Friday, is a beautifully-designed social bookmarking site with a more personal feel. The 10-person company is based in Seattle, and they’ve raised $1.5 million in angel funding from notable investors including former Starbucks Senior VP Don Valencia and former Microsoft Senior VP Richard Fade. The site has more than 2,200 users and 30,000 bookmarks (or “Dots”). They’ve been testing the service for the past 7 months.
BlueDot also includes a MySpace-style social network. You can add friends to your network and create groups of friends - you can then publish your bookmarks exclusively to these users (your family, for instance). It’s also very visual: users have profile photos that appear all over the site, and each bookmark is accompanied by an image. What’s more, you can customize your profile page by choosing a background pattern and color. And of course there’s RSS support and widgets to place on your blog or MySpace page.
