Top Ten Psytrance Bookmarks on Delicious

Delicious is one of the world’s most popular social bookmarking sites. Out of curiosity I looked up their top ten psytrance bookmarks. Here they are (minus a bunch of pirate MP3 blogs):

1. Philosomatika, a popular Internet radio station, with 339 bookmarks.
2. Psyshop, the well-known mail order shop, with 210 bookmarks.
3. PsyDB, DJ Core’s incredible database of psytrance releases new and old, with 150 bookmarks.
4. Goabase, a German party portal and community, with 136 bookmarks.
5. Ektoplazm, free music portal and psytrance netlabel, with 116 bookmarks.
6. Psyradio, another Internet radio station, with 93 bookmarks.
7. Psynews, an online community and informal home to a lot of old school Goa trance fans, with 86 bookmarks.
8. Isratrance, another big forum, with 65 bookmarks.
9. Triplag, a radio station and record label dedicated to the dark side of psytrance, with 58 bookmarks.
10. Psychedelik, a French radio station with 57 bookmarks.

What can we learn from this? People really like Internet radio, that’s what! It is also interesting to note what sites are not on the list. Consider these top-ranked psytrance sites and their respective bookmark numbers (in brackets): Australiens (25), Saikosounds (24), Cytopia (22), Mushroom Magazine (18), Boom Festival (17), Chaishop (15), and PsyMusic UK (4). From what I know these are some of the biggest psytrance sites in the world. I wonder why they aren’t bookmarked more often? Of course, there is nothing remotely scientific about this cursory study of Delicious bookmarking habits! This is merely food for thought (and, perhaps, discussion).

What do you think? Are there any other popular (and legal) psytrance sites that haven’t been mentioned here?
