"Fling it Girl is a new social bookmarking and shopping site aimed at the Web-savvy consumer crowd (the site is pink and has \"girl\" in the title, but there's a section for guys too).  As with most other social bookmarking sites like Kaboodle, Fling it Girl is broken down into various categories, and each user-generated submission can be voted and commented on, saved to your own profile and further shared within the community as well as across the Web.  \n\nFling it Girl has a bookmarklet that you can add to your browser toolbar for easy submissions as you surf the Web.  Its toolbar, which is similar to StyleFeeder's recent browser add-on, is what really ties things together and provides a more direct social interaction amongst users.  Powered by Medium, the Feed it Girl toolbar gives you additional features while you browse the Fling it Girl site and surf the Web for new shopping items.  \nAs Medium is a social toolbar that gives you recommendations and related sites, a co-branded Fling it Girl option for users means that you can ask other users questions while you surf, find more shopping sites, and have direct access to the constantly updating new and hot items coming through on Fling it Girl.  Co-founder Kary Rivera notes that unlike the StyleFeeder social browsing tool, Fling It Girl has the opportunity to extend its network. \"This toolbar with real time function and accessibility to the site from everywhere is an unbelievable feature.  All me.dium search users will benefit from what is being Flung Up through Fling it Girl in the social search results,\" said Rivera.\nIt makes a lot of sense conceptually to integrate an additional social search toolbar for active Fling it Girl users, as it aims to provide a full circle of options for both browsing and connecting with others.  We're sure to see more of this, not just in girlie shopping sites but across a large portion of social Web surfing, even delving into areas of Web surfing that isn't necessarily considered social.  Tools like Vysr and Yoono are doing a lot to make such provisions available to users, with browser sidebar widgets that include bookmarking and chat.  Such browser add-ons will only continue to grow and mature, layering in increased feature capabilities and integration with existing networks and recommendation engines.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
