Welcome beta-testers!
As of now, Mister Wong, one of the most popular social bookmarking services, is also available in English.
Mister Wong was founded in Germany in March 2006 and since then has grown to become Europe’s leading service for Social Bookmarking, attracting more than 2 million visitors (Google Analytics) each month in Europe alone, which is more traffic than Furl, Blinklist and Ma.gnolia count worldwide, demonstrated at Alexa.com. So you can say Mister Wong is the second largest Social Bookmarking portal worldwide (if you do not count stumbleupon.com and digg.com who have different approaches).
Mister Wong differs from del.icio.us and makes him unique due to the following: every language has its completely own portal and database, therefore providing the best links in the relevant language. And we also have some unique features like the weekly wongletter, private and public groups and tons of stuff like widgets for Mac and Gadgets for Vista.
In the last few weeks we´ve successfully launched localized portals in Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish . Now we are ready to wong the English speaking part of the web.
We hope you´re ready to wong :) We are eagerly awaiting your feedback on the service!
Let us know how we can assist and have a great time with us!
Wong the web :)

Thanks for the invite. I’ve never had troubles with other services, but with Mr. Wong my user name is limited to 12 characters, so it cut off the last letter of my usual user name. No big deal, but it means that out of 20 online accounts, this one has a different user name, so I may not remember it when visiting from another computer.

Thanks for the invite! Other than the weird name, I like what I see so far!
July 4th, 2007 at 16:32
I actually love the name. It’s a bit random and from the 10-15 minutes that I’ve spent on here, I can find no reason as to why the creators picked such a name.
Regardless, thanks for the invite :)

Hey guys,
I think your site needs more branding. When I think of the homepage or the look and feel, I don’t have anything in mind except for the catchy name. I know you have a ‘chinaman’ icon that goes into browsers as a plugin, but shouldn’t that be on the front page?
I guess you could do more with the catchy name, too. You could have stuff like ‘in the wong place at the right time’ or so on.
When you give instructions to users on how to incorporate the toolbar, you may as well use a script to determine which browser the person has and then list the instructions based on that. When you do closed testing, all the geeks will be using Firefox, but when you open to the general public, about 80% still use ie.
I see you’ve gone against the trend in web2.0 design – no icons or avatars, but icons and avatars are great features. Just because digg and delicious don’t use them, doesn’t mean they’re not good. One of my favorite sites is Yahoo Answers, and they use them to really great effect.
Also, more features, more features, more features. Cause, you know, you’re not the only ones in this game.
Best wishes

@em, ..not sure if you’re trying to be inflammatory but your comments on ‘branding’ are not only absurd but quite offensive.
what if instead the site was named ‘Mr. Kraut’ w/a caricature of an overweight man w/his arm raised in a sieg heil manner, or perhaps, the site was called ‘Mr. Jew’ w/picture of a man w/big nose, ears..
Something is very wrong if people, regardless of nationality, do not see that this sites name and branding is taking advantage of popular negative stereotypes of Asian men.
