Since this site is dedicated to help you find the latest web resources. I decided to put together a list of 10 Open source Social Bookmarking Platforms that will help you in your development of the next greatest Social Bookmarking Site. All descriptions below are taken from the developers of the software.

If you have any platforms you would like to add comment below. Feedback is always welcome.

“Web 2.0 bookmarking system, both social (with tags) and private (with folders). Import and export your bookmarks from Firefox, IE, Mozilla, Netscape. Admin management section, translations, groups, bookmarklets, Firefox extension, RSS feeds, and more!” This is a very unique platform that is like Del.Icio.Us.

The user interface gives your visitors a reason to come back to your site by making them decide on the site’s content and giving them the chance to build a social network.” Pligg is very similar to Digg but allows you to add you own content. This is one of my favorites.
Scuttle: Open source social bookmarking
“Scuttle is a free open source software for creating social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us. You can create a social bookmarking site in minutes using scuttle for your personal or for community use. Scuttle supports most of the del.icio.us API, so you can modify the del.icio.us tools to work with scuttle. Import your existing bookmarks from browsers or from del.icio.us. Scuttle has several AJAX features and it generates an RSS feeds.”

Unalog

If you get an account, or create a group, either one can be made private, so nobody but you (if a private account) or your fellow group members (if a private group) can see your links.”

Good job, compiling many available solutions in one place.
Btw, not all the solutions are truly open source. It will be good to mention which one is open source (GPL/other licence), and which one is available for free, but not open source. I found the one on shopping cart very useful. Looking forward to many more comparisons/studies.
