You already do, so enjoythin.gs with the world

Another social bookmarking tool, enjoythin.gs aggregates your favorite media from Last.fm, Vimeo, Flickr, Tumblr and Twitter, as well as text and images from any site on the web. 

The concept is simple: drag the Enjoy This tool to your bookmark toolbar. Click Enjoy This once when you want to save an entire web page; click again on an image if that’s what you enjoy; highlight text first, then Enjoy This if you want to save a piece of text. Each medium shows up differently on your homepage. Note: I DID have to watch the video tutorial to figure out how to enjoy a single image. But now you won’t =).

Authorize enjoythin.gs to access your external accounts if you want to import media you favorite from those sites. I ended up disabling access to my Last.fm account because I’m pretty liberal with loving tracks, and while it looks like you should be able to listen to tracks on enjoythin.gs, it wasn’t working for me.

Need some inspiration to enjoy things? Much like StumbleUpon or Flickr Explore, you can access random items others enjoy from the enjoythin.gs homepage. And as is social media, you can comment on media others enjoy and friend users.

Its beautiful interface is simple and fun to use. For the visually inclined, it’s more appealing than delicious and allows for more detailed, customized favoriting than StumbleUpon. You can check out what I enjoy here: http://ronijean.enjoysthin.gs/.

In the heat of the election cycle, it drew on its stellar reputation for political reporting to bring readers “what’s good on the web.”
