Om Malik is blogging about Wists, a visual bookmarking service and a potential competitor to del.icio.us. In my prior post that commented on the del.icio.us venture investment, this what I was referring to in terms of del.icio.us investors getting another look sometime down the road and seeing what other industry markers play out (e.g., what innovations occur, who enters the space). In Fred Wilson’s recent post, Fred does hint that the user base for del.icio.us is very large. What the full range of competitive advantages will be (and how strong barriers will be) is yet to be seen.

I have been experimenting with Wists. The adage “a picture is worth a 1000 words,” is true when there are just a few pictures. The conversion rate seems to decline when you are dealing with an endles stream of pictures.
