I totally agree that searching the full text of others' bookmarks is a great feature. Sometimes I forget that the "data" is more important, in the end, than the "meta-data". Or is it? :-) Otis, thanks for the clarification. I totally agree that searching the full text of others’ bookmarks is a great feature.

What is the "Shadow Page" feature? Does that refer to comments that other users can add to a bookmark? As for Simpy's new features, I think another useful one is the ability to full-text search not only your own bookmarks, but also anyone else's. For example, if you go to http://www.simpy.com/simpy/User.do?username=otis, you'll see "Search [otis's Links]" in search form in the nav bar at the top. That gives you more power than simple tag browsing. I signed up for Shadows the other day, but nothing really worked for me :(. What is the “Shadow Page” feature?
