I like the way Magnolia lets you add bookmarks from a simple bookmarklet:

http://ma.gnolia.com/

Delicious is of course the leader in this area, but its interface
leaves a bit to be desired: http://del.icio.us

http://reddit.com/ and http://digg.com focus on the social bookmarking aspect.

I guess your first design decision is how are you going to
differentiate your site from the throngs of competitors?  What itch
are you scratching, or how are you scratching a current itch better
than what's already out there?

All the best,
