"Florida-based social network Multiply, which reports nearly 3 million users and $6 million in funding, will officially announce its social bookmarking tool tomorrow.  The platform already supports blogs, video, photos and music, but the bookmarking feature adds the ability to share, tag, and discuss your favorite pages.  Since Multiply is focused on sharing with your immediate friends and family (it's really the anti-MySpace), they also provide privacy controls that allow you to share bookmarks with the whole world or just a few users.  You can see an example of the service here, and a quick scan of the site suggests they've been testing it for a while - it's available in Mashable's Multiply account, for instance.  \nThe system is also integrated with Multiply's message boards, which means you receive a notification whenever your friends add new bookmarks.  It's hooked up to Multiply's tagging system, too: a users' bookmarks, photos, videos and blog entries on a topic are all accessible via the same tag.\nMultiply are very much committed to private sharing among your friends, and that has some serious drawbacks - just like Xanga, the network is fairly insular, preventing the insane growth curve experienced by MySpace, Friendster, Piczo, YouTube and others.  I suspect that Multiply's bookmarks feature will be more of the same: just like Xanga Videos, it'll be adored by the site's own community, but unheard of elsewhere.  Multiply's advantage, of course, is that it has a unique angle - something that the scores of new social networks often lack.\n\nSocial bookmarking with Multiply\nDisclosure: Multiply is currently a Mashable sponsor."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
