Mento, a bookmarking service similar to Del.icio.us, has just launched.  The only difference Mento does is that it’s really oriented so you can “send” your bookmarks to others using Twitter and social networks.

They are using beta invites so you need an invite to try the service out.

The service does look promising but only time will tell its success.

Beyond the features typically found on tagging sites, Mento strives to simplify sharing links with friends by allowing users to import and interact with their Facebook contacts. The site also differentiates itself by keeping track of how many times a link you’ve shared has been clicked, and which members have clicked it.

Mento can be used either with bookmarklets in your browser’s toolbar or as an extension that appears as a button (available for both Firefox and IE). The extension isn’t intrusive, but it doesn’t seem to offer much extra functionality over the bookmarklet at this point (though this will likely change in the future).
