OK, so I agree that most of these services will die, but ones that don't will be successful. You haven't really supplied enough arguments to prove that 'social browsing will die'. except the 'people want to surf their porn alone' . Twitter and digg clones are popping up like mushrooms after the rain for quite a while now, and some of them are really successful.
Social Browsing is sweet, sharing and commenting is a click away. Black PR is still PR...

I love finding new links to great reads online, and I like knowing about them as fast as possible, and as EASILY as possible. I also don't want it to be too hard to share something, especially if I'm the first one to share it. SocialBrowse makes it amazingly easy to share, and I have a steady stream of new links, if it looks interesting, into a new tab it goes, and I'll read it when I get to it. When I share, I place it in a category, and that's it. No tagging, no description write up, that's it.

If i could narrow everything down into the 3 best sources I have for great content that I wouldn't have found without sharing it, they would be (in order): Socialbrowse, Twitter, Mixx.

That wasn't so much a review as it was an indication that you are suffering from social media burn out. perhaps you should take some time and unplug for a while. Saying something like this is to say, We have 2 flavors of ice cream vanilla and chocolate why do we need strawberry and butter pecan? Sometimes you just want a nice cone of Rocky Road y'know?

Kudos for getting so many company names into one sentence! Kind of reminds me of the results of a 70s game show. Social browsing, social discovery, social aggregation... a lot of terms that ultimately mean nothing outside of our little bubble of a world. The end game is delivering an easy and useful tool to a guy in Mississippi who's never heard of "social networking" or "social media" but just knows all his friends are on MySpace and wants to better connect with them.
Yoono is going to be releasing something very cool next month we believe will give users yet another reason not to switch to Flock and to stick with their trusted browser. You should see it in about 3-4 weeks.

Well, it needs to die just as much as "creating yet one more tech-centered blog".
See what I mean ?
