Following in del.icio.us’s model you can add a little “post to Slister” token in your browser bookmark bar and it will post to the Slister website. It’s based around Shopping and posting products and shopping deals instead of just websites that you like. If they are looking to compete with Crowdstorm so far it looks like they are getting very very slow traffic. The two recent posts that I saw, when browsing their homepage were 3 hours apart from each other. My initial feeling on Slister is that it’s a similar to digg in it’s feel, uses del.icio.us aspects, and goes after Crowdstrom’s market. Yet, it does all these things poorly. It’s not easy to use or as current as digg, the bookmarking feature is just like del.icio.us, and Crowdstorm seems to understand their users better in the way they display the products and what products make it to the front page.  That said, I pull for every new Web 2.0 startup though I’m not sure there is a need for another shopping 2.0 type.  So I wish them good luck, and I hope Slister proves me wrong.
