I don't know how many of you uses bookmarking sites to store your favourite website links. I personally don't use any bookmarking sites. Well there are few bookmarking sites like deli.cio.us, reddit etc and you can add more to this list. The latest one into this family is Microsoft's infant (Labs) Listas. Its still taking its shape in Live Labs or Microsoft.

I got a chance to play around with Listas and to tell you the truth, I was really not impressed by it. The goal of this site is to provide you a place where you can save your search results, save a funny video or save a website that you like keep it for later use. You can also share your favourites with your friends.

I don't see anything great about this site specially from the usability point of view. First of all, to use it, you have to install one application on your machine. As always, microsoft wants to keep dumping its .exe or .msi files on your machine so their "servers" doesn't have to work too hard. Its your computer who needs to work. Oh well, so once you install it on your machine, you will have some kind of toolbar on your IE or Firefox that will give you an option to add your favouries on a click of a button.

But take a look at the screenshot below that I got. I searched for the word "Hindi" and got the bunch of lists that somebody created for their own purpose.
